The compatibility effects of irradiated recycled PP on the mechanical and water properties of recycled PP/microcrystalline cellulose composites

Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic that is used in many applications. Hence, the recycling of PP is very important for the sustainability of the environment. However, the properties of recycled PP (rPP) are lower compared to virgin polypropylene due to the rupturing of its structure during the re...
