Morphology of wood species affecting wood-thermoplastic interaction: microstructure and mechanical adhesion

The main objective of the research presented here is to relate anatomical features of wood species that affect the interactions between polymeric phases and performance of wood plastic composites (WPC). These interactions are related to the probable interlocking volume and surface area for stress tr...
