This paper investigates the potential of recycling waste copper chromium and arsenic (CCA)-treated timber for use as a reinforcement material in wood–plastic composites (WPCs) produced construction, including an assessment mechanical properties leaching heavy metals. Wood flour was obtained through grinding, fibres were alkaline digestion followed by bleaching. Composites with 40 wt.% bleached ...

In this study, wood polymer composites (WPC) were produced by polypropylene (PP) as the matrix material and 30 wt% olive flour (OWF) filler material, for injection applications. Various treatments of OWF—including single treatment or co-modifications using silane treatment, heat maleic anhydride grafted (MAPP) compatibilizer—were used to improve PP/OWF compatibility mechanical properties. Struc...

The objectives of this study were to examine the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties polyurethane (PU) foam prepared with various wood flour contents curing temperatures for use as a core layer in wood-based sandwich panels. five alternative tested 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12%, 100, 120, 140, 160°C studied 10% content. results showed that cell size density PU increased at above 6%, which reduc...

Normal (cv. Keumkang, KK) and waxy-type (cv. Shinmichal, SMC) whole wheat flour was substituted at 20 and 40% for white wheat flour (WF) during bread dough formulation. The flour blends were subjected to dough and baking property measurement in terms of particle size distribution, dough mixing, bread loaf volume and crumb firmness. The particle size of white wheat flour was the finest, with inc...
