Flax-reinforced polypropylene - How process parameters affect part properties
In the production of composite materials from natural fibres and a thermoplastic matrix, the process parameters have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the parts. The boundaries of the process control are derived from theoretical principles and temperature-time dependencies determined by thermoanalytical techniques.
