Abstract
Wood-plastic composite (WPC) formation has been studied with simul+styrene system at various compositions of styrene with methanol as the swelling solvent. Effect of additives, e.g. multifunctional monomers (MFM) and oligomers used in very low quantity (1% v/v) on the polymer loading (PL) and tensile strength (TS) of the WPC has been elaborately investigated. Enhanced PL and TS values are observed. Inorganic co-additives like Lithium (Li +), Copper (Cu 2+) and acid (H +) and urea (U) used in combinations with additives (MFM or oligomers) have influenced the results of PL and TS in these systems. Li + ion has been a good replacement for H + ion; U has substantially enhanced the PL values with retention of the TS values of WPC. Co-additive Cu 2+ used in these system can act as a preservative and protective agent for WPC.
