PRODUCTION OF WOOD POLYMER COMPOSITE FROM AFRICAN COPAIBA BALSAM (DANIELLA OLIVERI) WOOD DUST : EFFECTS OF WOOD DUST PARTICLE SIZE
ABSTRACT This thesis explore the effects of wood dust particle size distribution and contents on the functional properties of wood plastic composites WPCs prepared from virgin high density poly-ethylene (vHDPE) and dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treated African Copaiba Balsam (Daniella oliveri) wood dusts via compression moulding technique. Changes in the structure and the properties of WPCs resulting from variation in daniella oliveri wood dusts particle size distribution and contents were ...
