- Abstract
The article presents a study on the influence of fiber length and maleated polymers on the mechanical properties and foaming behavior of cellulose fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites. The mechanical tests showed that long fibers provided higher flexural and impact properties compared with short fibers while the extrusion foaming results indicated that composites with long and short fibers demonstrated similar cell morphology. Maleated high-density polyethylene increases the average cell size and cell size distribution in the composites.
