Design and engineering of sustainable biocomposites from ocean-recycled polypropylene-based polyolefins reinforced with almond shell and hull
In this work, we discuss the development of a bio-based polypropylene composite by using recycled polypropylene (rPP) and almond shell with hull as green phases. In the first step, a blend of rPP and virgin PP (vPP) was manufactured and evaluated. The melt flow index (MFI) of the blend was higher (∼...
