Performance properties of irradiated recycled polypropylene as a compatibilizer in recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose composites

Effects of irradiated rPP compatibilizer on the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose composites (rPP/MCC) have been investigated. The rPP were irradiated with an electron beam with dosages ranging from 10, 20, 30 and 50kGy. Matrix containing of unirr...
