Abstract
. In this study, mechanical and biodegradability properties of wood-plastic composite were investigated. Beech wood fl our (WF) 40 wt% was used as a reinforcing base material, maleic anhydride (MA) as a coupling agent, and nano clay to improve the properties were added. The polymer studied was polyhydroxy-butyrate (PHB) and the other polymer was high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Three groups of composites were produced, in two groups each of the polymers alone and in the third group a combination of two types of polymers was used as a matrix. Starch 8 wt% and 12 wt% was used instead copolymer. The specimens were mixed using a twin-screw extruder, made with an injection-molding machine, and subjected to mechanical tests: tensile strength and modulus, bending strength and modulus, impact resistance tests and
