65 to 90 weight percent Kraft chemical wood pulp fibers and a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a method of making the composition. 65 to 90 percent by weight of kraft chemical wood pulp fibers and a thermoplastic polymer; and a method of making the composition. In one embodiment, about 5-10%, in other embodiments 0.2-5%, of the coupling agent is incorporated into the composition formulation and melt processable composition. Fillers and chemical wood pulp fibers may be added to the fiber / polymer blend to impart desirable physical characteristics or to reduce the amount of polymer required for a given application. |
