Use of wood fibers in thermoplastics. VII. The effect of coupling agents in polyethylene–wood fiber composites
Abstract
Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was reinforced with different wood fibers, aspen chemithermomechanical pulp (bleached and unbleached), and other commerical wood pulps. Silane coupling agents A‐172, A‐174, A‐1100, and polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate were used to improve the bonding between the fiber and matrix. LLDPE filled with pretreated wood fiber produced a significant improvement in tensile strength and modulus. Comparison of tensile and impact properties of wood fiber composites with mica and glass fiber composites shows the potential advantage (in terms of material cost and specific properties) of wood fiber as a reinforcement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
