The Influence of Temperature on Mechanical Properties and Fiber Damage

The purpose of this project is to study the influence of processing temperature on mechanical properties and extent of fiber damage of the empty fruit bunch (EFB) – high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites during compounding and processing. The samples produced from the injection molding were sub...
