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
