Spent coffee grounds (SGC) have been separated from exhausted coffee capsules, mainly
made in polypropylene (PP), and subsequently melt mixed in different percentages (10 and …

Mineral fillers like talc and mica are commonly used in the plastic industry because of their
tendency to alter the properties of thermoplastic materials. Polypropylene (PP)-talc (PTC) …

In the present study, two commercial typologies of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)(Exilva
and Celish) with 2% wt% were firstly melt-compounded at the laboratory scale into polylactic …

The performance of polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) for pipe applications,
including their processibality and final mechanical properties, can be balanced by finely …

This article presents a study on the use of natural fibers and kaolin waste as sustainable
alternatives in the manufacture of polymer matrix composites. In the present research …

For optimum reinforcement in polymer nanocomposite, a critical challenge is to realize the
full'nano-effect'of nanofillers at a high content, which is largely hindered by the strong …

Polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipes is one of the most used polymers in the
piping systems. Hence the need to more rigorously know their properties and characteristics …

Three‐dimensional architecture of segregated network can significantly influence thermal
behaviors of polymer composites, such as the melting temperature (Tm) and degradation …

Maleic anhydride (MA) can function as both a grafting agent and a thermoplastic vulcanizate
(TPV) agent or crosslinker in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blends of polylactic acid (PLA) …

This study aims to evaluate potential methodologies for improving the performance of
polypropylene (PP) matrix composites by the addition of carbon fibre and kaolin fillers …
