description | Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) represent composite materials that employ shredded wood combined with a thermoplastic substance, such as polylactic acid (PLA), to establish structural cohesion within the product profile. This amalgamation of materials results in a robust structure designed to fulfill specialized roles under the influence of pressure and temperature. Given the nature of the constituent materials, the resultant product can be classified as a biocomposite. The creation of such biocomposites entails a rigorous process necessitating the fine-tuning of specific parameters and suitable technologies. The foundational materials employed in this process must be both natural and biodegradable. However, it is noteworthy that natural components like fibers exhibit anisotropic behavior, wherein their mechanical attributes are contingent on the direction of the applied force. Consequently, predicting their performance during biocomposite production proves challenging. The principal objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of wood-based composites incorporating PLA thermoplastic binding agents. The intention was to discern variations in density profiles arising from distinct measurement methodologies. Two measurement methods were used for the measurement: X-ray and spectrum desaturation. Additionally, the study sought to investigate the impact of introducing PLA additives at 25% and 50% concentrations on the fabrication of WPC from wood chips. The properties of these composites were assessed by considering the inherent traits of the composite materials. |
