Tensile strengths of the composites slightly decreased
while the tensile modulus improved as the filler loading
and crosshead speed increased, but the composites had
an acceptable strength up to a filler loading of 40 wt.%.
RHF could be utilized as a biodegradable filler at endofuse in polymeric materials to minimize environmental
pollution rather than produce strong reinforcing filler.
As the filler loading and crosshead speed increased, the
tensile property became more brittle, and the poor interfacial
bonding between filler and matrix polymer
caused decreased tensile and Izod impact strength of the
composites. Nevertheless, this problem could be reduced
