Mechanical Recovery of Damaged Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene via Repetitive Sub-Melting Thermal Annealing: A Molecular and Structural Study

This study clarifies the mechanical recovery and structural retention of damaged glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP/GF) composites subjected to repetitive sub-melting thermal annealing at 160 °C. Initial thermal annealing increased matrix crystallinity from 0.30 to 0.37 (+2...
