This study examined the relationship of interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and
bending strength (MOR) of several different wood-plastic composites (WPC's).
Plastics utilized were high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP).
Pine and oak were used as the wood species. Compatibilizers used included maleicanhydride
polyethylene (MAPE), polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI),
KymeneTM,...
