4.9/5 (23928 ratings)

Description:Wood-polymer composites (WPC) are materials in which wood is impregnated with monomers that are then polymerized int the wood to tailor the material for special applications. The resulting properties of these materials, from lightness and enhanced mechanical properties to greater sustainability, has meant they are being used in an increasing number of ways in various areas as building, construction and automotive engineering. This important book reviews the manufacture of wood-polymer composites, how to assess and improve their properties and their range of uses.After an introductory chapter, the book reviews key aspects of manufacture, including raw materials, manufacturing technologies and interactions between wood and synthetic polymers. Building on this foundation, the following group of chapters discusses mechanical and other properties such as durability, creep behavior and processing performance. The conclusion looks at orientated wood-polymer composites, wood-polymer composite foams, at ways of assessing performance and at the range of current and future applications.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Wood-Polymer Composites (Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering). To get started finding Wood-Polymer Composites (Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering), you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
