Moisture sorption, biological durability, and mechanical performance of WPC containing modified wood and polylactates

Biological durability is an important feature for wood-plastic composites (WPC) intended for outdoor applications. One route to achieving WPC products with increased biological durability is to use wood preservative agents in the formulation of the WPC. Another option could be to use a chemically mo...
