Investigation of rotary drum filter system to obtain blend of cellulose and polymers, its characterization of the properties.
The primary objective of this project is to obtain a blend of cellulose and polymer using filtration system, vacuum rotary drum. The resulting blend will be compounded with the polymer followed by the investigation of its processability and mechanical properties. The final product is designed to be more environmental friendly in comparison to conventional polymer used in the industry. The area of application will be mainly in automotive industry in addition to other industries that may find this product to be useful.
