The effect of size and composition on bamboo particulate filled composite / Rozaimi Ahmad

The mechanical properties of composite depending on the size and composition of the particulate bamboo were studied. The matrix use is Homopolymer Polypropylene from Propelinas Malaysia. No coupling agent was added into the compound. Bamboo use was from the type of gigantochba Scortechinii. The bamb...
