In this study, the potential of irradiated recycled polypropylene (i-rPP), as compatibilizer for rPP reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites, is evaluated. RPP/MCC composites, with various MCC loadings (5, 20 and 40 wt%) are compounded with melt extrusion, followed by injection...
