Curaua fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites: effect of impact modifier and fiber loading [PDF]
Polímeros, 2016 Short fibers are used in thermoplastic composites to increase their tensile and flexural resistance; however, it often decreases impact resistance. Composites with short vegetal fibers are not an exception to this behavior. The purpose of this work is to
