The mechanical behavior of polypropylene (PP) and 30 wt% coir fiber reinforced PP composites, with and without compatibilizer, were assessed through monotonic (tensile and bending) and cyclic (fatigue) tests. Fatigue load ...

The fatigue behavior of polypropylene/coir fiber composites was investigated. Composites were prepared according to an experimental statistical design, in which the independent variables coir fiber and compatibilizer content ...

PP/CF composites were prepared and the effect of lignin incorporation in the presence and absence of compatibilizer (maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene, PP-g-MA) was investigated by means of mechanical, thermal and ...
