Lignocellulosic fractions from wheat straw were used as natural fillers in composites of a polyolefin (a copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene) and a biodegradable polyester [poly(butylene adipate-co-terephtha-late)]. The mechanical properties of these injected composites were investigated with tensile and impact testing. A reinforcing effect of wheat-straw residues was found for both types of composites. Compared with the polyester-based composites, the polyolefin composites were more brittle. The addition of compatibilizing agents (-gamma-methacrylo-xypropyltrimethoxysilane, maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, and stearic acid) did not improve the prop-erties of the polyolefin composites. The surface properties were studied with contact-angle measurements, and poor interfacial adhesion was found between the hydrophilic lignocellulosic filler and the hydrophobic polyolefin matrix. Thermal characterization revealed the formation of low intermolecular bonds between the polyester matrix and the lignocellulosic filler, in agreement with the surface tensions results and scanning electron microscopy observations.
