Regarding some mechanical properties of terrace board made of wood-polymer composites with different filler

One of the areas wood waste processing is their use in production wood-polymer composites (WPC). The relevance products due to wide range applications and qualities this material. WPC does not rot, damaged by insects fungi, contain harmful binders. Products from duodenum do crack, gouge, are waterproof, which makes them an excellent material for manufacturing a terrace board. However, board must have certain mechanical qualities, will allow it be used fairly harsh conditions - under action humidity, UV radiation load. This study aimed determine main physical properties (density, strength at static bending, modulus elasticity, water absorption, hardness, abrasion resistance, changes linear dimensions with changing atmospheric environment) samples different fillers. Samples hollow board, were filled polyethylene (PE) polyvinyl chloride (PVC), study. Based on experimental studies, was found that density both quite high, close maximum; difference significant, but when examining microslices microscope PE as binder, larger number voids observed, indicating presence excess moisture or lack mineral It may also indicate destruction polymer. determined other important indicators such resistance best filler polyvinylchloride. greatest bending index 35%. hardness equivalent. elasticity sample exceeded performance PVC almost 2.5 times. Thus, based research, possible identify clear relationships theuse polyvinylchlorideas binder significantly improves composite. results research solve problem improving characteristics wood-composite expand Keywords: density, resistance.
