Research Progress of Functional Wood-plastic Composites
Wood-plastic composite(WPC)material is a new type of composite material,which currently faces problems such as poor color stability and weak aging resistance.In this paper,the main raw materials for producing WPC and the research progress of four main functional WPC,namely flame retardant and smoke suppressive,weather resistant,antibacterial,and high-strength,are introduced.The future development trend is to enhance the performance of WPC by adding additives,find WPC with higher strength and multifunctionality,and improve its comprehensive performance.In addition,further research should be conducted on finding green additives,investigating the synergistic mechanism of different additives for WPC and the aging mechanism of weather resistant WPC.
