Wood-plasticcomposites (WPC) or natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites
represent a relatively new class of hybrid materials which have been gaining rapid market …

Hygroscopicity, low durability, and low thermal resistance are disadvantages of
lignocellulosic materials that also plague wood–plastic composites (WPCs). Hemicellulose …

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) have garnered considerable interest in academia due to
their desirable mechanical characteristics and long-lasting nature. The initial research …

In previous research on the effects of fungal decay on the mechanical properties of wood-
plastic composites (WPC), results were inconclusive due to the influence of moisture …

Commercially available additives and a copolymer system were investigated for their impact
on composite morphology and crystallization kinetics. This research focuses on the …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of composite processing and moisture
sorption on laboratory fungal resistance of wood-plastic composites. A 2-week water …

The hygroscopicity of woody materials results in moisture absorption into wood-based
composites, including wood–plastic composites (WPC). The objective of this research was to …

Markets for wood-plastic composites (WPCs) have grown at an astounding rate, despite their
higher overall costs compared to naturally durable or treated wood. Sur veys suggest that …

Addition of wood particles to polymers can cause a change of properties of the composites
which depends on features of lignocellulosic materials and those of polymers. It is also …

Wood is a natural renewable material with unique properties helping mankind to build and
develop its communities since the genesis of human on the Earth. Moreover, wood/cellulosic …
