Influence of residual lignin content on physical and mechanical properties of kraft pulp/pp composites

The effect of residual lignin content on the mechanical strength and water absorption of kraft pulp/polypropylene composites was studied. To meet this objective, hornbeam wood chips were converted to kraft pulp at three different alkalinities (15, 20, and 25%) and three different cooking times (60,...
