Effects of fiber content and extrusion parameters on the properties of flax fiber - polyethylene composites

Extrusion compounding addresses such problems as the non-homogeneity of the mixture and separation of fiber from the polymer during rotational molding, which consequently affect the mechanical and physical properties of the resulting composites. <p>Using triethoxyvinylsilane as chemical pre-tr...
