A study of viscoelasticity and extrudate distortions of wood polymer composites
Abstract
Natural fiber composites exhibit a characteristic surface tearing and extrudate distortions upon exiting from extrusion dies. This type of defect is characterized by highly rough, cracked, and distorted extrudate surface. In this study, the extrudate distortions and viscoelastic nature of metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene (mPE)/wood flour composites have been investigated. As the wood flour loading increases the region of linear …
