Study the effects of an addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene-rice husk green composites

New composites based on polypropylene as polymer matrix reinforced rice husk have been developed. The improvement of mechanical and thermal properties can be achieved by the addition of inorganic filler namely titanium dioxide (TiO ). In this work, two series of composites formulation of polypropy...
