A comprehensive, practical guide to wood-plastic composites andtheir properties
This is the first book that presents an overview of the mainprinciples underlying the composition of wood-plastic composite(WPC) materials and their performance in the real world. Focusingon the characteristics of WPC materials rather than theirmanufacture, this guide bridges the gap between laboratory-basedresearch and testing and the properties WPC materials exhibit whenthey're used in decks, railing systems, fences, and other commonapplications. Complete with practical examples and case studies,this guide:
* Describes compositions of WPC materials, includingthermoplastics, cellulose fiber, minerals, additives, and theirproperties
* Covers mechanical properties, microbial resistance, waterabsorption, flammability, slip resistance, thermalexpansion-contraction, sensitivity to oxidation and solarradiation, and rheological properties of hot melts of WPC
* Covers subjects that determine esthetics, properties,performance, and durability of wood-plastic composite products
* Includes comparisons of different ASTM methods and proceduresthat apply to specific properties
This is a comprehensive, hands-on reference for scientists,engineers, and researchers working with wood-plastic composites inplastics and polymers, materials science, microbiology, rheology,plastic technology, and chemical engineering, as well as anoutstanding text for graduate students in these disciplines. It'salso an excellent resource for suppliers and WPC manufacturers, andan accessible guide for developers, homebuilders, and landscapearchitects who want to know more about wood-plastic composites andtheir performance in the real world.
