Effect of Beech bark Content on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bark Flour-Polypropylene Composites

In this study, physical and mechanical properties of composites made of bark flour and polypropylene were studied and compared with those of wood flour-polypropylene composites. Bark flour content were adjusted at three levels (40, 50 and 60%) and compounded at absence and presence of 2% compatibili...
