Effect of wood dust fibre treatments reinforcement on the properties of recycled polypropylene composite (r-WoPPC) filament for Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)

The efficacy of wood dust fibre treatment on the property of wood dust reinforced recycled polypropylene composite (r-WoPPC) filament was investigated. The wood dust fibre was treated using alkali, silane, and NaOH-silane. The treated wood fibre was incorporated with r-PP using a twin-screw extruder...
