TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of incompatibility between the hydrophilic wood filler and the LDPE hydrophobic matrix was treated by two methods: a chemical modification of the olive husk flour with maleic anhydride to esterify the free hydroxyl groups of the wood components and the use of a compatibilizer agent, i.e., an ethylene-butyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (EBAGMA) terpolymer.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of hydrothermal aging behavior on the properties of alfa fiber reinforced polyvinylchloride composites (PVC/alfa) was described by immersing specimens in distilled water at 100°C over a 120h period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of maleic anhydride chemical treatments of the sisal fiber, for five different sisal contents, varying from 0 to 30% by weight in the composite, was assessed with respect to thermal stability and water absorption capacity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/sisal fiber composites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the incorporation of virgin and benzylated olive pomace in the poly(vinyl chloride) matrix on dielectric, mechanical and thermal stability properties, of /olivepomace composites was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphology and viscoelastic properties of rubbery epoxy/organoclay montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were investigated with wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile testing, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis.
