Abstract Wood plastic composites (WPC) were made from polypropylene (PP), impact copolymer (ICP) and wood flour (WF) by varying the WF content from 10 to 40% with PP grafted maleic anhydride as a coupling agent. The effect of varying WF content was studied on rheological, thermal, mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical properties. Experimental small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) data was compared with the Einstein–Batchelor and empirical Krieger–Dougherty relations. Significant dependence of mechanical and rheological properties on WF content was observed. Young’s modulus, flexural modulus and dynamic shear viscosity increased with WF content. Results of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed increase in storage modulus with WF content. Three millimeter thick compression molded composites sheets were thermoformed using axisymmetric molds with two draw depths. Sag observed visually during thermoforming decreased with increasing WF content. Components made from the composites showed close to uniform thickness distribution as compared to those from ICP.

Presently, the application of natural fibres widely gains attention from academia and industries as an alternative material in the composite system. The introduction of the hybrid composite using natural and synthetic fibres is extensively investigated on the static mechanical properties. However, the investigation on the high strain-rates effect is less reported due to the difficulty of the experimental set-up as well as the limitation of dynamic testing apparatus. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was utilised in this present study to characterise the dynamic mechanical properties of the hybrid composite between E-glass with jute fibres at three different strain rates of 755, 1363, and 2214 s−1. Results showed that the dynamic compression stress and strain of the tested samples significantly influenced by the value of strain rates applied. The E-glass/jute sample exhibited the strain-rate dependent behaviour, whereby the higher dynamic mechanical properties were recorded when the higher strain rates were imposed. The difference between maximum dynamic stress was 12.1 and 23.9% when the strain rates were increased from 755 to 1363 s−1 and 1363 to 2214 s−1, respectively. In terms of compressive strain, the maximum compressive strain was recorded when the lower strain rates were imposed during testing.
