Evaluation of high density polyethylene composite filled with bagasse after accelerated weathering followed by biodegradation

Wood-plastic composites (WPC) have many applications as structural and non-structural material. As their outdoor application becomes more widespread, their resistance against weathering, particularly ultraviolet light and biodegradation becomes of more concern. In the present study, natural fiber co...
