  • Interfacial shear strength of wood-plastic composites

    Creator:
    Rogers, James F.
    Abstract:
    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,...

  • The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

  • Characterization of load transfer in wood-based composites

    Creator:
    Schwarzkopf, Matthew John
    Abstract:
    The mechanical performance of composite materials is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. Binders are commonly used to bond composite components together and to provide effective load transfer between them. In wood-based composites the binder-component load transfer occurs at...

  • Morphological characterization of wood plastic composite (WPC) with advanced imaging tools : developing methodologies for reliable phase and internal damage characterization

    Creator:
    Wang, Yi
    Abstract:
    Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers, wood flour, and a small amount of process- and property-enhancing additives; they are principally used in the automotive industry and as secondary building materials. Although the WPC market is expected to keep growing, it is still relatively small when...

  • Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

    Creator:
    Wu, Yili
    Abstract:
    Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...
