Influence of wood surface chemistry on the tensile and flexural properties of heat-treated mangrove/high-density polyethylene composites
Mangrove wood fiber (MF) was treated at four different temperatures (120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C and 180 °C) in order to improve its compatibility with polymer matrix. The chemo-structural, thermal and morphological characteristics of untreated and treated MF were analyzed. The chemical composition of th...
