Physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene composite with Resak sawdust (60 mesh size) as filler / Aswadi Amirun Ismail

We were studied about the thickness swelling, water absorption, bending and tensile properties of Thermoplastic from Resak species. If the sample has low density its mean it has a higher or water absorption. It is also similar for the thickness swelling. .From that we can see that the density can be as the barriers for the water absorption and also thickness swelling for the sample. For the bending, density is the important character that we must how. Not just that, it is also important for tensile. The density will give effect to the bending and also tensile. From that I hoped the data that I have can help me to see the properties of thermoplastic from Resak species as a medium in parts and places which are exposed to moisture.
