The use of wood plastic composites (WPC) is growing very rapidly in recent years, in addition, the use of plastics of renewable origin is increasingly implemented because it allows to reduce the carbon footprint. In this context, this work reports on the development of composites of bio-based high density polyethylene (BioHDPE) with different contents of pinecone (5, 10, and 30 wt.%). The blends were produced by extrusion and injection-molded processes. With the objective of improving the properties of the materials, a compatibilizer has been used, namely polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA 2 phr). The effect of the compatibilizer in the blend with 5 wt.% has been compared with the same blend without compatibilization. Mechanical, thermal, morphological, colorimetric, and wettability properties have been analyzed for each blend. The results showed that the compatibilizer improved the filler–matrix interaction, increasing the ductile mechanical properties in terms of elongation and tensile strength. Regarding thermal properties, the compatibilizer increased thermal stability and improved the behavior of the materials against moisture. In general, the pinecone materials obtained exhibited reddish-brown colors, allowing their use as wood plastic composites with a wide range of properties depending on the filler content in the blend.

Abstract This research paper emphasizes the characterization of irradiated wood plastic composites for consumer product. Throughout this research, it is precisely conducted to observe the mechanical and physical properties of WPCs and their ability to fit in the market globally. The study also carried out to promote WPCs product that came naturally from renewable sources. WPCs in this research can be defined as mixture of wood that can be replaced with pineapple fiber in a polymer matrix. Composite that used in this research mainly consists of 40% polyethylene (PE), 50 % pineapple fiber and the rest is coupling agent that enhance the WPCs mixture. After undergoes several processes such making the raw sample of WPCs mixture, the WPCs were then irradiated under required dose levels of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 kGy with the aid of the Gamma Cell Irradiator. Soon after, the irradiated WPCs then undergoes characterization process using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Diagnosis on the morphology of WPCs found that there was significant difference between the radiated and irradiated surfaces.
