The surface of wood fiber used as reinforcement in polypropylene/wood fiber composites was modified by acrylic acid. The effect of filler loading and acrylic acid as compatibilizer on mechanical properties, water absorption and morphology was investigated. The composites were prepared by using Z-b...
