Preparation, Characterization And Properties Of Polypropylene/Waste Tyre Dust/Kenaf Powder Composites

Thermoplastic elastomer composites of polypropylene (PP)/waste tyre dust (WTD)/kenaf powder (KNFp) were prepared with a fix thermoplastic elastomer blend composition of PP/WTD at 70/30 (wt./wt.%). The amount of KNFp used in this research was 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 phr. All composites were prepared usin...
