Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are produced by mixing ground wood particles and heated virgin or recycled thermoplastics including HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PP, ABS, PS, and PLA.

According to the WPCs' application, the mentioned thermoplastics can prepare desired properties.

WPC composites are materials filled with particles from natural origen, like Mina karma-Avargani indicate, and you can prepared by different methods on depending of thermoplastic polymer you decide to reinforce

Dear all, please take a look at the following documents. My Regards

Hi;

Wood plastic composite (WPC) is a material composed of wood fibers and plastic resins. It should be noted that the term WPC includes in a very general way the composites made with all types of polymers and all types of plant fibers. However, these materials are different as much by their physical and chemical characteristics as by their processes of implementation or by the solutions of recycling at the end of life.

With my best regards

Dear Anam Khan;

Please check the following documents.

With my regards

Thank you all for your consideration and attention to this matter!!

Jose LUIS Rivera-Armenta sir composites made by mixing certain polymer with sisal fibres or agriculture waste like rice and wheat straw fibres comes under WPC category? as per the definition you have given since these fibres also have natural origin and are lignocellulosic mass similar to wood.

Thank you!

Dear sir/madam, is there any specific reason for using only thermoplastics for the synthesis of WPC and not thermosets? since wood plastic composites are also called wood polymer composites according to the literature available so this general term polymer can refers to both thermoplastics as well as thermosets.

Thank you !

Interested, good question

DEAR ANAM KHAN, I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES,
