Abstract
Composites of polypropylene, substitutable for a given application and reinforced with: Medium Density Fibreboard fibre (MDF) (40 wt%); flax (30 wt%); and glass fibre (20 wt%), were evaluated after 6 injection moulding and extrusion reprocessing cycles. Of the range of tensile, flexural and impact properties examined, MDF composites showed the best mean property retention after reprocessing (87%) compared to flax (72%) and glass (59%). After 1...
