An example of short fiber thermoplastics composite material processed by rotational moulding. Hollow prototype of polyethylene and agave fiber, as an option to reuse the Tequila industrial organic waste.

You’ve shared an original image that is appropriate to upload ti Wikimedia commons, and provided links to relevant articles.
A next step would be to describe in more details what kind of activity you are suggesting to expand/improve the representation of thermoplastics in Wikipedia/Wikimedia. Why is this important? What approach would you take for such an activity?

We were comparing this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material (in english)
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_compuesto (in spanish)
The main difference are the images: our research group could provide a lot of original photos (conventional and from characterization equipment).
This was only an example of a short fiber thermoplastics example, made with native natural fiber from Jalisco.
Saludos, Alan.

I have fond memories of visiting the lab and learning about the agave fiber, it always impresses people when I describe it to them.
