Mechanical Properties of Wood-Polymer Composite Prepared by In-Situ Polymerization of Methyl Methacryalte and Styrene
Abstract:
Fast-growing poplar wood, Populus ussuriensis Kom, was used to prepare novel wood-polymer composite by the in-situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St). SEM observation and FTIR analysis indicated that the resulted polymer well filled up wood cell lumen and physically reinforce wood matrix. The test results also proved that the mechanical properties of wood including modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, compression strength and hardness of were improved by 68.28%, 110.27%, 62.43%, 357% over those of Untreated Wood, respectively. Such wood-based composite could be potentially used as reinforced material in construction fields.
