Analysis of Physical-Mechanical and Surface Properties of Wood Plastic Composite Materials to Determine the Energy Balance

摘要

Wood plastic composite (WPC) materials represent modern materials that are attracting interest worldwide. WPC are composite materials and they have properties of both components -plastic and wood. WPC materials are formed by combining two substances - discontinuous reinforcements (wood particles or cellulose microfibers) and a continuous binder (plastic matrix), in a certain proportion. The authors describe WPC machined surfaces after turning. On the basis of a set of experimental data collected by surface and mechanical tests obtained from the WPC materials, the mechanical deformation work was evaluated, the value of which presents specific information about the material as a specific material coefficient.
