RESEARCH INTO THE PROPERTIES OF AN INNOVATIVE WOOD-PLASTICCOMPOSITE

摘要

The paper to analyses the characteristics of an innovative type of wood-plastic composite with a low wood content. Using traditional methodologies based on standardized European test methods, the density, strength and modulus of elasticity in static bending were determined. Additionally the impact strength of the composite was analysed by employing the method with two pendulum hammers. Good results were found for their physical and mechanical properties. In conclusion the paper suggests that the analysed product had good properties for specific uses in environments with high humidity.
