Thermal and water absorption properties of bio-synthetic hybrid reinforced polypropylene composites

In this study, cattle bone was processed and utilized as complementing reinforcement for the development of cattle bone/calcium carbonate reinforced polypropylene composites. The processed cattle bone was pulverized, calcined and sieved to obtain 53, 63 and 75 μm sizes that were used for the development of the hybrid composites. The composite consists of hybrid reinforcements amounting to 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 wt%. Compression moulding machine was...
