Evaluation of the mechanical properties of chemically modified chicken feather fibres reinforced high density polyethylene composites

Despite the effectiveness and advantages of natural fibres from plants as reinforcement in the production of composite materials, it has been observed that such fibres have limitation of a high rate of absorption of moisture. In most cases, this weakens the properties of the composites. So, there is...
