Abstract
Considering the use of the new molding thermoplastic technique, where viscous filaments can be artistically or technically manipulated to create three-dimensional pieces using an extruder, this paper discusses the optimal PP/wood fiber filament preparation conditions especially the thermal degradation. Not only is it essential to know the best processing conditions of the composites but also gain durability and/or advantageous color change when the final products made with viscous filaments are subjected to thermal treatments. Very few papers have been published on polypropylene-pine wood filament composites and the thermal degradation of such filaments. This paper presents the preparation and characterization of filament composites using 5, 10, and 20wt.% pine sawdust with a compatibilizer obtained by hot molding through the use of an extruder, and discusses the effect of both drying time and temperature on the prepared filament comp...
