Thermal and mechanical properties of treated and untreated Red Balau (Shorea Dipterocarpaceae)/LDPE composites

Red Balau saw dust was heat-treated at 180°C and 200°C for 1 h. Treated and untreated wood flour were compounded with LDPE at 9, 20, and 37 by weight and molded in an injection molding machine. Thermal and mechanical properties of the resultant composites were investigated as a function of filler...
