Durability of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- and Polypropylene (PP)-Based Wood-Plastic Composites—Part 1: Mechanical Properties of the Composite Materials
Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) have shown exceptional promise as a building material, especially for outdoor uses. Using renewable wood fiber as the reinforcing filler in WPCs increases the material’s environmental sustainability. While virgin commodity thermoplastics are primarily used in these com...
