Influence of coupling agents on rheological, thermal expansion and morphological properties of recycled poypropylene wood flour composites

Abstract: In this work, thermal expansion and morphological properties of recycled polypropylene wood flour composites were evaluated in order to verify the effect caused by the usage of a natural oil as coupling agent. The natural oil used as coupling agent was octanoic acid (C8), maleic anhydride...
