Effect of thermal modification on physical and mechanical behavior of sunflower-polypropylene composites

The Use of agricultural plants wastes as an alternative forest resources in the cellulose industry can be recommended due to the severe shortage of wood raw material and restriction of forest harvesting. The aim of current research was to investigate the effect of thermal modification on applied pro...
