Abstract The lack of compatibility between cellulose fi bers and some polymers, such as thermoplastics, is due on one
hand to the hydrophilic nature of the vegetable fi bers and on the other hand to the hydrophobic character of
the matrix. This incompatibility induces bad dispersion of the fi bers and the formation of a heterogeneous
material with mechanical properties which are not very satisfactory. The scope of this article is to describe the
possibility of using Olive Husk Flour (OHF) as reinforcement in the elaboration of a composite material based
on polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In More >
