Mechanical and morphological properties of cellulose-reinforced thermoplastic composites: effect of recycling

In this study, the effect of low microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) content on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) composites when recycled was investigated. The PP/MCC composites were recycled six consecutive times using an injection moulding (IM) machine. Then, the mechanical properties...
