This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, the use of polymer composites filled with wood (WPC) is becoming increasingly popular. In particular, flooring of terraced premises, siding, decorative fences, fence systems, steps, universal profiles, among others are made from WPC. In 1977, the first enterprise for the production of WPC appeared in Sweden. The first experience was not very successful – the demand turned out to be low, and the wear of technological equipment was very high. Therefore, developments in this field were resumed only in the 1990s and continue to this day. This book describes the basic physical and mechanical properties of modern WPC, such as tensile and compression strength, and hardness. Also, the influence of climatic factors on the performance properties of products from WPC is described, while the thermal and rheological properties of WPC materials are considered, which directly affect the consumer characteristics of the products. The book contains theoretical developments related to the prediction of the mechanical and thermal properties of polymers and composites. The Van der Waals volume and the energy of the intermolecular interaction are estimated. This book will be of interest to representatives of the WPC market, designers, and architects, as well as technology engineers, students and post-graduate students of higher educational institutions in the fields of chemistry and physics of composite polymer materials.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood plastic composites (WPC) have emerged as new option for composites in the composite industry. WPC have been accepted globally due to their remarkable advantages compared to synthetic fiber composites. In order to manufacture WPC with specific properties and quality, the industries at present employ trial-and-error method. Besides taking up a lot of time, a significant amount of materials is wasted with this method. However, this problem can be reduced to some extent through the use of simulation models for the prediction of the properties in the composites. Modeling and simulation allow users to visualize the effects of the parameters that are especially challenging for comprehension. In addition, the properties of WPC are dependent on the processing conditions. Hence, there are many parameters involved in the manufacturing process. Some of these parameters are important and are included in the simulation model to study and to understand their effects on the final WPC product. Thus, an integrated simulation model has been proposed to predict the thermal and the mechanical properties of WPC, which comprised of three main modules: a) the heat transfer model, b) the mechanical model, and c) the empirical model. The heat transfer model predicts the profile of temperature and the degree of cure via Melt Flow Index (MFI) and Young's modulus for every layer during hot compression molding. Besides, a finite difference method was used to estimate the changes in the temperature in WPC during the compression molding process. Next, the mechanical model predicts the mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus and tensile strength. Lastly, an empirical model to predict the Young's modulus and the tensile strength based on the effects of the coupling agents. All the three models were validated with experimental results. The simulation model for heat transfer inside the board predicted the changes in temperature and the curing index of the composite across the thickness during the compression molding process. The proposed mechanical model successfully predicted the changes in tensile strength and Young's modulus with changes in the percentage of wood fiber. Furthermore, wood fiber was considered as a natural resource with nonuniform properties, as far as this study was concerned. Thus, the changes in the mechanical strength of WPC were predicted as the changes in the properties of wood fibers involved reduction in void volume, alkalization, and variations in moisture content. Moreover, the empirical model predicted the mechanical properties as a function of seven individual parameters for composites that were made of four types of fibers (Jute, Abaca, Hemp, and Pine) and Polypropylene. This model had been found helpful in predicting the effects of coupling agents on the mechanical strength of the composite. Therefore, this integrated research work with GUI should be able to aid the industry and the researchers concerning WPC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer composites are materials in which the matrix polymer is reinforced with organic/inorganic fillers of a definite size and shape, leading to enhanced performance of the resultant composite. These materials find a wide number of applications in such diverse fields as geotextiles, building, electronics, medical, packaging, and automobiles. This first systematic reference on the topic emphasizes the characteristics and dimension of this reinforcement. The authors are leading researchers in the field from academia, government, industry, as well as private research institutions across the globe, and adopt a practical approach here, covering such aspects as the preparation, characterization, properties and theory of polymer composites. The book begins by discussing the state of the art, new challenges, and opportunities of various polymer composite systems. Interfacial characterization of the composites is discussed in detail, as is the macro- and micromechanics of the composites. Structure-property relationships in various composite systems are explained with the help of theoretical models, while processing techniques for various macro- to nanocomposite systems and the influence of processing parameters on the properties of the composite are reviewed in detail. The characterization of microstructure, elastic, viscoelastic, static and dynamic mechanical, thermal, tribological, rheological, optical, electrical and barrier properties are highlighted, as well as their myriad applications. Divided into three volumes: Vol. 1. Macro- and Microcomposites; Vol. 2. Nanocomposites; and Vol. 3. Biocomposites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigated the effects of polymer blend variation on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of wood-polymer composites (WPC). We used high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) and a combination of 80% PP, 20% HDPE, and 80% HDPE, 20% PP as polymer blends for WPC formulations to simulate recycled plastics. We used black spruce (Picea mariana Mill.) hammer milled fibers (75,Äì250¬†Œom) at 35¬†wt% as a filler for all the formulations. A two-step process was used for WPC manufacturing; pellet extrusion followed by test samples injection. Tensile and three bending tests characterized the WPC mechanical properties. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterized the WPCs,Äô thermal properties. Water absorption and contact angle measurements assessed the composite dimensional stability. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electron scanning microscopy (SEM) investigated the WPCs,Äô surface chemistry and microstructure. Mechanical properties and dimensional stability varied according to polymer composition, with better performance for WPC containing higher PP proportions. Thermal properties varied with the polymer composition in the WPC, with better thermal stability for the formulation containing higher HDPE proportions. Surface chemistry analysis did not reveal any chemical changes on the WPCs surface. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed distinct phases in all WPCs without evidence of interfacial adhesion.
