Investigation on mechanical and thermal properties of giant milkweed (Calotropis persica) fibers -plastics composites

The suitability of using Iranian grown giant milkweed fibers (GFs) as a new raw material for thermoplastic composites was investigated. The polypropylene (PP) was used as the matrix polymer and the maleated polypropylene, Epolene G- 3003TM, was used as coupling agent. In the sample preparation, four...

The polypropylene (PP) was used as the matrix polymer and the maleated polypropylene, Epolene G- 3003TM, was used as coupling agent.
