Chemical Corrosion Effect on Wood and Wood–Plastic Composites
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 1993Abstract Effect of chemical corrosion on the tensile strengths of five types of Bangladeshi timbers (kadom, simul, koroi, mango, and debdaro) and their composites has been evaluated. Wood–plastic composites (WPC) formed by the gamma-radiation induction polymerization of butylmethacrylate (BMA) with those timbers show better resistance to chemical ...

Swelling and Thermal Conductivity of Wood and Wood-Plastic Composite
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 1997Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were prepared with low-grade wood (simul and mango) using methylmethacrylate (MMA) and butylmethacrylate (BMA) as the impregnating monomers under high-energy ionizing radiation from a Co-60 gamma source. Water absorption of both wood and WPC was studied in a stagnant water bed.

Swelling Behavior of Wood and Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC)
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 1992Abstract Wood-plastic composites were prepared by γ-radiation with five types of low-grade timbers of Bangladesh using methylmethacrylate as monomer. Water-swelling behavior of both wood and its WPC was studied. The water uptake by the WPC was found to be lower compared to the untreated wood.

Enhanced wood plastic composites
2013In the study, two wood fibre types, bleached softwood kraft pulp (BSKP) and thermomechanical pulp (TMP) with fibre lengths of 2.28 and 1.40 mm, respectively, were melt processed with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) using a twin-screw extruder to fibre content of 30 wt-% and injection moulded.

Wood-plastic composites using woods native to Iran
Radiation Physics and Chemistry (1977), 1982Abstract Radiation induced polymerization of methylmethacrylate and copolymerization of styrene-acrylonitrile mixture in mamrase Carpinus betulus was carried out by means of γ-ray, under different moisture levels and additives. Under all conditions the degree of polymerization was as high as 60%.

Wood–plastic composites as promising green-composites for automotive industries!
Bioresource Technology, 2008Wood-plastic composite (WPC) is a very promising and sustainable green material to achieve durability without using toxic chemicals. The term WPCs refers to any composites that contain plant fiber and thermosets or thermoplastics. In comparison to other fibrous materials, plant fibers are in general suitable to reinforce plastics due to relative high ...
