Abstract
Recycled newsprint (ONP) and dry process aspen fiber were combined wit h styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers containing either 7 or 14 percent maleic anhydride. The fiber-filled SMA composites were equival ent or superior to unfilled SMA in strength, stiffness, and notched Iz od impact strength. ONP performed surprisingly well as a filler. Unnot ched Izod impact strengths for filled polymers were lower than for unf illed polymers. Water sorption was similar among fillers, and was smal l compared with solid wood.
