Wood plastic composite (WPC) were made with 30% HDPE in abatch process at 185˚C, at two particle sizes of 40 mesh and 80 mesh. Maleicanhydride polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a coupling agent. The MOE(modulus of elasticity) and MOR (modulus of rupture), maximum tensile strengthincreased with increasing particle size.}, keywords = {}, url = {https://ijlp.gau.ac.ir/article_2070.html}, eprint = {https://ijlp.gau.ac.ir/article_2070_fb30cb9f08e54b72e4fd7ce2a73a9e6d.pdf} }
