Sažetak
Natural and wood fibre plastic composites (WPC) are among the most rapidly growing markets within the plastics industry. They are manufactured by combining either wood or such other natural fibres as flax, hemp, jute, or kenaf with polymers. Thermoplastic resins, such as polypropylene, polyethylene or polystyrene, are mixed with other materials (such as wood), and form a composite product. The resulting composites can be easily processed into various shapes and can be recycled. In many cases either the polymer or the fibre, or both, can come from recycled materials. The paper reviews the latest trends in the field of thermoplastic composites with natural fibres. By taking the example of thermoplastic composite with wood fibres, the influence of processing parameters to mechanical properties of product will be examined.
