Application of the modified hybrid rule of mixture (ROHM) and Halpin–Tsai equation for predicting mechanical properties of wood/hemp/polymer composites. An object of investigations was hybrid wood-polymer composite containing HDPE, hemp fibers and wood particles. The degree of addition of hemp and wood particles ranged from 0 to 60% of filler. The usefulness of the mathematical models ROHM and Halpin-Tsai to predict the Young's modulus of composites was tested. Additionally, experimental research was carried out. It was found that the hemp content in the wood-polymer composite significantly influences the growth of the composite module. The usefulness of mathematical models for predicting the Young's modulus of hybrid composites was also confirmed.
