Effect of Hygrothermal ageing on mechanical properties, swelling behavior and morphology of wood powder filled Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Effect of hygrothermal ageing on mechanical properties, swelling behavior and morphology of wood powder filled LDPE with different filler loading and addition of coupling agent was investigated and compared with each other. Maleic acid and COCA Coconut Oil Coupling Agent) were used as the coupling a...
