in this research, the effect of wood species and particle size on mechanicalproperties of wood plastic composites (wpc) made of fir (abies alba) and beech(fagus orientalis l.) sawdust and high density polyethylene (hdpe) wereinvestigated. wood plastic composite (wpc) were made with 30% hdpe in abatch process at 185˚c, at two particle sizes of 40 mesh and 80 mesh. maleicanhydride polypropylene (...

This study aimed to improve some surface properties such as color, gloss, and roughness changes of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) wood impregnated with water repellent chemicals glycerol (GR) glyoxal (GX) after weathering. specimens were a 4 % aqueous solution GR, GX, mixture GR GX (1:1; weight : weight) (GR+GX) then exposed weathering in Muğla Province Turkey. Results showed that [delta]...

This study was made to determine surface characteristics such as colour, gloss, and hardness changes of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). The wood specimens were firstly impregnated with some fire-retardants (FRs) primed epoxy resin (EPR) then coated polyurethane/polyurea hybrid (PUU). 3 % aqueous solution boric acid (BA), borax (BX), mixture (1:1), ammonium sulphate (AS). While Sikafloor®-15...
