- Abstract
The influence of 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and benzoyl peroxide on gel content, crystallinity, and mechanical performance of unfilled PP‐PE blends, and their composites with wood was investigated. All materials were compounded in a twin screw extruder and then injection molded. Specimens were then exposed to high‐humidity and elevated temperature in a humidity chamber to cross‐link any unhydrolyzed silane.
