Abstract

"Wood-plastic composites are probably one of the most dynamic sectors of today’s plastic industry. Although the technology is not new, there is growing interest in the new design possibilities offered by this marriage of materials. In the world, polystyrene (PS) is the third most utilized thermoplastic after polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The uses of PS are different from those of PE and PP because PS’s glass transition temperature (Tg) is approximately 90
