The accurate prediction of the thermomechanical properties newly developed polymer composites is important in determination their possible areas application. In this study, a 3D model representative volume element (RVE) with different wood flour weight ratios (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 %) was used to develop composites. Micromechanical material modelling software (Digimat) conjunction finite ana...

A new type of low cost, environmentally friendly wood-plastic composites (WPC) 12 containing carbon nanotubes(CNT)of low content 0%, 0.05wt%, 0.1wt% and 0.15wt%, wood fibers 13 of 14wt% and polymer PES of 86wt% was manufactured by the selective laser sintering (SLS) 14 approach of 3D printing. The experimental results showed that the incorporating of CNTs could 15 obviously increase the mechani...

in this study, the effect of chemical modification of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polypropylene based composites was investigated using by dynamic mechanic thermal analysis. to meet this objective, the wood flour treated with chemical components including alkaline, acetic acid and benzoyl chloride, and then the chemically treated fibers were compounded with polypropylene at 180 °...

The waste of sawdust and wood chips in the processing industry Jayapura City has not been utilized properly maximally, but only as firewood. In fact, this a large enough potential to be developed raw material for making charcoal briquettes. This research method analyzed calorific value 5 (five) treatments using Completely Randomized Design, repetitions so that total treatment was 25 (twenty fiv...
