Hybridizing PP with flax, basalt and rice-husk powder—and using MAPP to bind them—delivered big gains in strength, stiffness and char yield. Here’s the story behind the experiments and why this ‘green PP’ route is scalable.

Behind the Paper: Ensemble ML and SHAP for hybrid polypropylene composites

We asked if tensile strength and stiffness of hybrid PP can be forecast from small, costly datasets. Here’s why we used an ensemble + SHAP workflow, what we learned, and how it suggests practical composition windows for real parts.
