Effects of Alkaline Treatment and Particle Size on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Melonhusk-Cellulose/Expandable Polystyrene Composites
The research investigated effects of alkaline treatment and particle size on physical and mechanical properties of melon-husk (MH) filled expandable polystyrene composites. In the process, MH particulate material size of 75 µm, 150 µm, 300 µm, and 600 µm were prepared and modified with alkaline (1%, 2 %, and 3 %,) based on weight volume fraction. T...
