EFFECT OF NANOCLAY DISPERSION ON PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD FLOUR/ POLYPROPYLENE/GLASS FIBER HYBRID COMPOSITES

Polypropylene/wood flour composites having different nanoclay and glass fiber contents were fabricated by melt compounding and then injection molding. The physical and mechanical properties were evaluated. The results showed that the tensile modulus and tensile strength of the PP/wood flour composit...
