Global concerns over environmental issues have led to a tremendous growth in sustainable
materials emerging from biobased plastics and their composites (biocomposites). This class …

Biocomposites offer a significant non‐food market for crop‐derived fibres and resins.
Considerable growth has been seen in the use of biocomposites in the automotive and …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

The possibility of using recycled plastic waste for the manufacturing of wood-plastic
composites is investigated. The samples were processed from the “light” fraction of …

In the present decade, the demands for recyclable, environmentally friendly and low-cost
with good strength composites materials have been significantly increased. In this context …

The biocomposites were produced by layering sequence of pure sisal fiber mat (SSSS),
pure hemp fiber mat (HHHH), and their hybrid mats and then subjected to accelerated …

7.1 BACKGROUND Understanding the chemistry of UV degradation of wood requires
knowledge of its macroscopic properties, anatomical structure, chemical nature of …

The effects of outside and accelerated (xenon-arc and UVA) weathering on the visual
appearance and chemical changes of wood plastic composite (WPC) formulations based on …

The aim of this study was to understand the roles of processing method and fiber size on the
properties of wood–plastic composites (WPC). Composites were manufactured using …

Poplar wood fibers were chemically modified by esterification (acetate, propionate,
benzoate) and then compounded with high density polyethylene (HDPE) into wood plastic …
