Effect of PVA-co-MMA Copolymer on the Physical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of Tropical Wood Materials

The present study demonstrates the effect of copolymer on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of tropical wood and wood polymer composites (WPCs).Mixedmonomers ofmethylmethacrylate (MMA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)were effectively impregnated into the cellular structure of several typ...
