The main aim of this research is to investigate an influence of different weight contents of the soft wood fibres (Cordenka) and man-made cellulose fibres (Weho 500) embedded into polypropylene matrix (homopolymer HP400R) on the tensile properties (Young’s modulus, tensile strength) and impact properties. Mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, and impact strength of the reinforced composites determined for each weight content of the cellulose fibres and microfiller were used as the design parameters.
