Cotton biochar polypropylene composite : the study of mechanical properties / Muhammad Faris Ramli

This study has been taken to investigate the effect of different biochar loading on the mechanical and thermal properties of BC-PP composite. The biochar loadings in this study were 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%. The BC-PP composite were characterized and tested by using Attenuated Total Reflectance...
