Green composites based on polypropylene matrix and hydrophobized spend coffee ground (SCG) powder (2015, background): “%) and this is mainly due to hydrogen bond formation between water molecules and hydroxyl groups in cellulose and hemicelluloses [53]; absence of a previous surface treatment on SCG leads to high amount of accessible hydroxyl groups which can interact with water.”
Pre-treatment of Flax Fibers for use in Rotationally Molded Biocomposites (2007, background): “Morphological studies showed that the MAPP and silane treatment improved the polymer-wood flour (WF) adhesion and the dispersion of the particles while the alkaline treatment only improved the dispersion (Ichazo et al. 2001).”
Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Wood Flour/Talc-filled Polylactic Acid Composites: Effect of Filler Content and Coupling Treatment (2008, background): “The use of WF can reduce material costs and provide specific properties such as low density, high specific stiffness, and biodegradability [21–24].”
Wood flour filled PP composites: Compatibilization and adhesion (2007, methodology): “The main drawbacks of such composites are their water sensitivity and relatively poor dimensional stability, changing wood fiber characteristics with origin and the time of the harvest, and poor adhesion to basically all matrix polymers [4,5].”
A Review on Pineapple Leaves Fibre and Its Composites (2015, unknown): “There are many methods like alkaline treatment [142], grafting with maleic anhydride copolymer [34], saline coupling agent such as c-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane (Z-6011) and c methacrylate propyl trimethoxy saline (Z-6030) [143, 144].”
