Enhancing Mechanical and Morphological Performance of Recycled Polypropylene Bamboo Fiber Composites Using Palm Stearin Biohybrid Resin
Summary
Researchers improved recycled polypropylene composites by incorporating bamboo fibers and a palm stearin biohybrid resin, finding that this bio-based compatibilizer recovers much of the mechanical strength lost during PP degradation and recycling, offering a more sustainable pathway for reclaimed plastic materials.
Plastic pollution has become a critical global concern, with poly(propylene) (PP) being a major contributor to solid waste. Recycling PP (rPP) is a viable strategy to mitigate this issue; however, the material often suffers from degradation and reduced mechanical performance. To overcome these...
