Tribological Behavior of a Rubber-Toughened Wood Polymer Composite

Tribological Behavior of a Rubber-Toughened Wood Polymer Composite

Wood polymer composites or WPCs are increasingly used as substitutes for natural wood in outdoor applications due to their better environmental sustainability and the consequent reduction in carbon footprint. In this paper, the presence of an elastomer used as a toughening agent (Santoprene by Exxon...
