The main objective of this project consists on the evaluation of pine powder and corn powder as reinforcement for different PP resins. A compatilibization study has been defined and set-up in order to combine these two reinforcements with three different resins based on PP. A final material selection has been carried out to produce an automotive prototype part.5spainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.3989/revmetalmadrid.17XIIPMSAutomotiveCompositesCorn powderNatural reinforcementsPine powderFísica de la materia condensadaQuímica física y teóricaMetales y aleacionesQuímica de los materialeshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84859993882&partnerID=8YFLogxK
