Treatments of lignocellulosics material have been found to be useful in preparation of polymer composites since such treatment help to improve their properties. Epoxy filled with untreated and 5% NaOH treated date particulates of particle size 150 µm composites were prepared with...
Investigation of the thermal stability of epoxy and unsaturated polyester filled with some agricultural waste of Dates palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and African elemi (Canarium shweinfurthii) pits particulate composites has been conducted at a heating rate of 10°C/min using thermogr...
