The objective of the study is to develop a Multipurpose Seating new filler for the production of natural filler thermoplastic composites using the waste rapeseed stalks.The long-term water absorption and thickness swelling behaviors and flexural properties of rapeseed filled polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated.Three different contents of filler were tested: 30, 45, and 60 wt%.

Results of long-term hygroscopic tests indicated that by the increase in filler content from 30% to 60%, water diffusion absorption and thickness swelling rate parameter increased.A swelling model developed by Shi and Gardner can be used LADIES KNITWEAR URBAN CARDIGAN to quantify the swelling rate.The increasing of filler content reduced the flexural strength of the rapeseed/PP composites significantly.

In contrast to the flexural strength, the flexural modulus improved with increasing the filler content.The flexural properties of these composites were decreased after the water uptake, due to the effect of the water molecules.
