In this study, the purpose was to improve outdoor performance of cement bonded wood composite due to their biodegradation and sensitivity to moisture especially in warm and humid climates. Cement bonded wood composites were treated with different concentrations (10 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %) of water repellent.

Investigating water absorption and thickness swelling tendencies of polymeric composite materials for external wall application in refrigerated vehicles [PDF]
Replacing external metallic wall of refrigerated vehicles has been on the front burner in many published works as weight of the metallic insulated panel continues to pose a challenge on refrigeration unit and environment. As a follow - up to this problem statement, five (5) composite materials were fabricated as replacement options for metallic ...

Abstract Applications of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites span diverse industries, including automotive, construction and consumer goods. The nature of natural fiber is hygroscopic, so they have tendency to absorb water and that results in the thickness swelling of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites.

Primjena umjetne neuronske mreže za predviđanje utjecaja dodatka parafina na upojnost vode i debljinsko bubrenje MDF-a [PDF]
In this study, water absorption and thickness swelling values of medium density fiberboard (MDF) were modelled by artificial neural networks (ANN). MDF panels were produced with different rates of paraffin (0.0-control, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 %) at different press temperatures (170 and 190 °C).
