Abstract

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
Outdoor conditions negatively affect wood plastic composites (WPCs). In this study, WPCs were reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to enhance their mechanical, thermal, fire and outdoor performance. The modulus of rupture (MOR) of WPCs was ...
