The effect of fibreboard (MDF) disintegration technique on wood polymer composites (WPC) produced with recovered wood particles
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the mechanical and water-related properties of WPC containing two types of recovered wood particles. These particles were obtained by thermo-hydro-mechanical and sole mechanical (milling) disintegration and compared to virgin wood fibres. The respective composites were produced with and without maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) as a coupling agent. The results clearly show that both types of particles, which derive from end-of-life MDF are a suitable resource to produce WPC. The physico-mechanical characteristics of the WPC containing particles from thermo-hydro-mechanical disintegration were statistically better than those containing mechanically produced particles.
