Mechanical and physical performance of cowdung-based polypropylene biocomposites

In this work, potential of cow dung (CD) as a reinforcing material was evaluated. CD was blended in different ratios up to 50 wt% with polypropylene (PP) using Brabender twin‐screw compounder. The results show a steady decline in the biocomposite tensile and impact strength with increasing CD loadin...
