Application of β-sheet proteins as a compatibilizer in injection molding of kenaf core/polypropylene composites
Injection-molding was performed using ethylene–propylene copolymer as the matrix by varying the physicochemical treatment of the reinforcement, i.e., core portion of kenaf stem that was dry-distilled and coated with or without β-sheet protein derivatives. Although dry distillation reduced the moistu...
