Abstract Poly (lactic) acid (PLA) is currently a most potential and popular polymeric material,
which will play a key role in building of a sustainable bioeconomy. Knowledge of …

The abundance of synthetic polymers has become an ever-increasing environmental threat
in the world. The excessive utilization of plastics leads to the accumulation of such …

This article focuses on the evaluation of the water immersion properties of wood-plastic
composite (WPC) made with industrial wood residues. The effects of fiber type and …

The extrusion method was applied to prepare composites with peanut husk, rice husk and
