This paper presents problem of the examination of the inhomogeneity of composite material on the base of wood plastic composite. It deals with evaluation of mechanical properties after tensile test and triax-bending test of a composite were assessed in relation to images acquired from radiographic method – metrotomography (using radiographic method which has an explanatory value in terms of evaluation of volume defects and in a figurative sense, also of the conduct of cracks on the surface after machining).

The paper deals with destructive testing of �new� group of material - Wood Plastic Composite (in short WPC). WPC emerging from a fusion of two different kinds of components - thermoplastics matrix and natural reinforcement (fibres or flour). Natural fibres offer several advantages - they are renewable, inexpensive, low-density, good isolate a sound and low cost. These components are mixed under the influence of high temperature and then pressed to make various shapes. This material contains cracks localized on the interface between the wood and plastic. These cracks occurred due to inhomogeneity of WPC and affected mechanical properties of final WPC product. The testing of mechanical properties (tensile test and bending test) were determinate in VUHZ Dobra (Ostrava) - following the ISO standards. Significant differences between mechanical properties after testing were caused by non-perfect encapsulation between components and non-homogeneity of materials.

3D printing has rapidly become popular in both industry and private use. Especially fused deposition modeling has increased its popularity due to its relatively low cost. The purpose of this study is to increase knowledge in the mechanical properties of parts made of wood-plastic composite materials by using 3D printing. The tensile properties and impact strength of two 3D-printed commercial wood-plastic composite materials are studied and compared to those made of pure polylactic acid. Relative to weight –mechanical properties and the effect of the amount of fill on the properties are also determined. The results indicate that parts made of wood-plastic composites have notably lower tensile strength and impact strength that those made of pure polylactic acid. The mechanical properties can be considered sufficient for low-stress applications, such as visualization of prototypes and models or decorative items.

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is wood based material that been produce by mixing sawdust as main composition and plastic polymer as bonding agent. Nowadays, WPC board already been produced in Indonesia using Sengon sawdust and recycle HDPE plastic. Sengon sawdust was used as WPC since its availability from plywood production waste, moreover HDPE plastic considered had higher strength and more rigid than PET plastic. WPC occasionally being used as non structural material, moreover from previous study about mechanical properties of WPC, it was found that WPC Sengon has high shear strength around 25 – 30 MPa. These lead that WPC Sengon had a potential used as shear wall sheathing, thus additional research need to be conducted in order to study the type of bolt and diameter of the bolt can be used for these shear wall. This study aimed to investigate the dowel bearing of bolt using full hole method based on ASTM D5764 with type and bolt diameter as specimen variation. Two types of bolt were used in this study; stainless bolt and standard bolt with diameter each of 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. According to ANOVA, there was insignificant result between stainless bolt and standard one, but there was significant result based on diameter of the bolt. Hereafter, it can be recommended the used of 10 mm diameter of bolt for structural purpose with dowel bearing strength around 67 – 70 MPa.

Morphology, mechanical properties and rheological behavior of wood plastic composite, derived from acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) and bagasse which was treated with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and using styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) as impact modifier, were reported. The effect of fiber surface treatment with KMnO4 and different amount of SBR on properties of wood plastic composite, prepared from ASA and 50 phr of bagasse, were investigated. Wood plastic composites (both treated and untreated) with varying amount of SBR, as impact modifier from 0-15 wt% of ASA, were prepared by melt-blending technique. The specimens were shaped with a compression molding machine and characterized, including morphology, impact strength, flexural properties and rheological behavior. It was demonstrated that the fiber surface treatment, using KMnO4, could effectively impove interfacial adhesion between bagasse and ASA matrix. These led to an improvement of morphology and mechanical properties such as impact strength, flexural strength and modulus. SEM micrographs revealed that the interfacial modification enhanced the interfacial adhesion between bagasse (fiber) and ASA (matrix) causing an increasing of shear stress and shear viscosity. Additionally, the effect of amount of SBR, as impact modifier, was also reported. The resulted showed that the impact strength was improved with increasing the amount of SBR (up 5 wt% of ASA) whereas, flexural strength and modulus were found to decrease with increasing SBR content.

According to its advantages, such as low-cost and green biological etc., Wood-Plastic Composite(WPC) is more suitable for make parts by Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) rapid prototyping (RP) process. With optimal design of components, the parts made by WPC have good mechanical properties as well as with good laser sintering properties. In order to further improve the surface quality of the parts, the post-processing–infiltrating with wax–is introduced. After post-processing, the void fraction is decreased from 51% to 7%, surface quality has been greatly improved, Ra belows 13µm on average, after polishing the surface is more smooth and Ra belows 5µm averagely,compared to those without post processing, surface roughness decrease 22% and 73% respectively.

This study aims to develop a new wood-plastic composite (WPC) material from recycled thermoplasctics. The recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) were used as matrix, whereas the diatomaceous earth waste (D) and wood fiber (WF) as filler. Recycled-LDPE and rHDPE were recovered and pelletized by a plastic recycling process. The 10-30wt.% diatomaceous earth waste was heat-treated at 200°C to remove impurities. The diatomaceous earth, maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE), CaCO3, slip agent, antioxidants and WF were then mixed at 160°C, for 10 minutes, at stirring speed 50 rpm to produce wood-plastic composite material. The mechanical strength and thermal properties of the composites were investigated. The composite containing D and rLDPE results in an increase the hardness of the material which is higher than that of the virgin-LDPE. The tensile and impact strengths of the composite material prepared by rLDPE and D were higher than those of the rHDPE composite material. It is found that LDPE has excellent fluidity, which is helpful for subsequent processing. In addition, the diatomaceous earth waste can be used to reduce the cost of the raw material, and the product has both effects of environmental protection and marketability.

To prepare a late-model and functional wood-plastic composite (WPC), the reversible thermochromism crystal violet lactone microcapsule was prepared by situ polymerization, then fabricated reversible thermochromism WPC by microcapsule and low density polyethylene with Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene. Comparing the L, a and b data of apparent color of reversible thermochromism WPC, the value of chromatism (ΔE) showed the difference of heating before and after, it was also measured to characterize the color-change level; the mechanical properties of ordinary WPC and reversible thermochromism WPC were measured respectively to compare the advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of WPC; Then the storage modulus and loss modulus of ordinary WPC and reversible thermochromism WPC were determined to distinguish the good from the bad of two kinds of composites. The results indicated that the reversible thermochromism WPC is a functional composite with noticeable color-changed effects, and tensile strength, bending strength and interface compatibility were better than ordinary WPC, but had worse impact property contrarily.
