  • Investigation of new compatibilizer systems for wood-polyethylene composites

    Creator:
    Geng, Yu
    Abstract:
    Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are one of the fastest-growing sectors of the wood composites industry. However, the strengths of WPCs are typically low because of the poor interfacial adhesion between hydrophilic wood and hydrophobic thermoplastics. A compatibilizer that can form bridges between wood and plastics is required to give WPCs desirable...
