The final part investigates advances in wood composites and looks at the preservation and modification of wood composites, environmental impacts and legislative obligations, nano-coatings and plasma treatment, biomimetic composite materials, the integration of wood composites with other materials and carbonized and mineralized wood composites. - Comprehensively reviews the entire field of wood composites in a single volume - Examines recent progress in enhancing and refining the performance and properties of wood composites by chemical and thermal modification and the application of smart multi-functional coatings - Explores the range of wood composites, including both new and traditional products
Download or read book Addcon World written by and published by iSmithers Rapra Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addcon World is the leading Additives, Modifiers and Compounding Conference. It has run for the last nine years. The conference focused on the technical advances and issues facing the plastics additives and modifiers industry. Papers at this year's event discussed the latest developments and the future of the additives business. Addcon conferences are two-day meetings for people who are interested in knowing something about all the major ingredients of a modern plastics product, and not just the one they currently research, manufacture or sell. In this respect they are different from meetings where the focus is on a single type of additive, and where recent developments in related fields can easily be overlooked. Since additives can interact with each other, and even neutralise each other's effects (as anyone combining certain light stabilisers with certain flame retardants knows) a conference that updates your appreciation of the wider technical scene is well worth considering. Additives today play an essential role in enabling plastics to continue to compete with other materials such as wood, metals, paper and glass. several years, and there is still scope for further expansion, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, but this trend cannot simply be taken for granted. The industry faces challenging problems, including a steady increase in European regulatory directives, and the need to compete with low cost manufacturers in Asia and elsewhere. Several large producers in Western Europe have been struggling to maintain their position in the face of difficult market conditions. Improved additives will be needed to produce end products economically, so that they comply with present and future regulations, and in sufficiently high quality to satisfy increasingly demanding customers.

Download or read book Wood Polymer Composites written by K O Niska and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2008-05-29 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood-polymer composites (WPC) are materials in which wood is impregnated with monomers that are then polymerised in the wood to tailor the material for special applications. The resulting properties of these materials, from lightness and enhanced mechanical properties to greater sustainability, has meant a growing number of applications in such areas as building, construction and automotive engineering. This important book reviews the manufacture of wood-polymer composites, how their properties can be assessed and improved and their range of uses.After an introductory chapter, the book reviews key aspects of manufacture, including raw materials, manufacturing technologies and interactions between wood and synthetic polymers. Building on this foundation, the following group of chapters discusses mechanical and other properties such as durability, creep behaviour and processing performance. The book concludes by looking at orientated wood-polymer composites, wood-polymer composite foams, at ways of assessing performance and at the range of current and future applications.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Wood-polymer composites is a valuable reference for all those using and studying these important materials. - Provides a comprehensive survey of major new developments in wood-polymer composites - Reviews the key aspects of manufacture, including raw materials and manufacturing technologies - Discusses properties such as durability, creep behaviour and processing performance
