The effects of different coupling agents, silane aminopropyltriethoxysilane and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP), on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites were determined and compared. The composites with low filler loadings, up to...
