Degradation of polypropylene in naturally and artificially weathered plastic matrix composites

Degradation of polypropylene in naturally and artificially weathered plastic matrix composites

Effects of accelerated and natural weathering on the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and crystallinity of polypropylene (PP) in wood plastic composites (WPC) were investigated. The composites were produced from pine fibers (60%) and PP (40%). Prolonged weathering caused an increase in wood degra...
