Coupling effect of waste automotive engine oil in the preparation of wood reinforced LDPE plastic composites for panels

We demonstrated the formulation of wood plastic composite (WPC) materials with flexural strength of 13.69 ± 0.09 MPa for applications in outdoor fencing using municipal waste precursors like low density polyethylene (LDPE) plastics (54.0 wt. %), sawn wood dust with particle size between 64 and...
