Filling Behavior of Wood Plastic Composites [PDF]
Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2016 Wood plastic composites (WPC) are a young generation of composites with rapidly growing usage within the plastics industry. The advantages are the availability and low price of the wood particles, the possibility of partially substituting the polymer in the mixture and sustainable use of the earth's resources. The current WPC products on the market are

Durability of wood plastic composites manufactured from recycled plastic [PDF]
Heliyon, 2018 The influence of accelerated weathering, xenon-arc light and freeze-thaw cycling on wood plastic composites extruded from a recycled plastic was studied. The results showed that, in general, weathering had a stronger impact on samples made from plastic waste compared to a sample made from virgin material.
