In this study, the silvergrass (SV) was used to reinforce HDPE composites. The effects of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) content, slivergrass fibers content on the mechanical, water absortion of wood plastic composites (WPCs) were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties of the SV reinforced HDPE composites can be improved by PMDI treatment. The highest tensile strength and flexural strength of the composites can be reached with 50% SV contents at the SV: PMDI=6:1. It has been proved that the hydroxyl groups of SV fibers which can react with the-NCO by FTIR. It also can be concluded that the water absorption of PMDI treated WPCs was lower than untreated ones.

In our experiments polyamide 6/high density polyethylene blends (25/75 wt%) were produced and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene was used as chemical coupling agent. To get finer microstructure and enhance the mechanical properties the blends were compounded by different nanostructured reinforcements. Two kinds of nanosilicate, the layered structure montmorillonite and the needle like sepiolite were applied in different concentrations and their effect on the mechanical and melting properties were examined.

The effect of individual and combined particleboard dust (PB dust) and basalt fibers (BFs) on mechanical and thermal expansion performance of the filled virgin and recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites was studied. It was shown that the use of PB dust had a positive effect on improving mechanical properties and on reducing linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE) values of filled composites, because the adhesive of the particle board held the wheat straw fibers into bundles, which made PB dust have a certain aspect ratio and high strength. Compared with the commonly used commercial WPC products, the flexural strength of PB dust/VHDPE, PB dust/RHDPE, and PB dust/VHDPE/RHDEPE at 40 wt% loading level increased by 79.9%, 41.5%, and 53.9%, respectively. When 40 wt% PB dust was added, the crystallization degree of the composites based on three matrixes decreased to 72.5%, 45.7%, and 64.1%, respectively. The use of PB dust can help lower the composite costs and increase its recyclability. Mechanical properties and LCTE values of composites with combined BF and PB dust fillers varied with PB dust and BF ratio at a given total filler loading level. As the BF portion of the PB dust/BF fillers increased, the LCTE values decreased markedly, which was suggested to be able to achieve a desirable dimensional stability for composites. The process provides a useful route to further recycling of agricultural wastes.

We investigated the effects of amount of antioxidants variability on selected mechanical and physical properties of wood plastic composites. Recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) and natural fibers were compounded into pellets by compounder, then the pellets were extruded using co-rotating twin-screw extruder and test specimens were prepared by hot and cold press process. From the study, samples with 0.5 wt% of antioxidants produce the highest strength and elasticity of composites. The effect of antioxidants presence on water uptake is minimal.

In order to improve the flame retardancy of wood-plastic composites,a new sandwiched composite is introduced in this paper with basic magnesium sulfated whisker(MOS) filled high density polyethylene(HDPE) as skin and wood flour filled HDPE as core.The oxygen index of the skin and the mechanical properties of the whole sandwiched composite are investigated. The results show that, the flame retardancy of the skin will be improved siginicantly when much MOS is used,and the skin containing 40wt% MOS has an oxygen index of 25.6%,in addition,the sandwiched composite in which both the mass contents of MOS in the skin and wood flour in the core are 40% has better mechanical properties than the traditional wood plastic composite(WPC) without any skin,and the sandwiched WPC is more fatigue-resistant.
