Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of phosphoryl triamide treatment on the flexural properties, internal bond strength, and dimensional stability of woodflour-polypropylene composites. Factors investigated included 3 woodflour loading levels and 7 fire-retardant treatments. Results showed that fire-retardant treatments adversely affected the flexural strength, internal bond strength, and dimensional stability of composite panels at a 100% woodflour loading; however, all of the measured properties improved at higher polypropylene contents, except for the flexural stiffness which was unaffected by either factor. Woodflour loading and fire-retardant treatments collectively and interactively affected the performance of woodflour-polypropylene composites, with the woodflour content a more-important factor than the fire-retardant type.
期刊介绍:
The Taiwan Journal of Forest Science is an academic publication that welcomes contributions from around the world. The journal covers all aspects of forest research, both basic and applied, including Forest Biology and Ecology (tree breeding, silviculture, soils, etc.), Forest Management (watershed management, forest pests and diseases, forest fire, wildlife, recreation, etc.), Biotechnology, and Wood Science. Manuscripts acceptable to the journal include (1) research papers, (2) research notes, (3) review articles, and (4) monographs. A research note differs from a research paper in its scope which is less-comprehensive, yet it contains important information. In other words, a research note offers an innovative perspective or new discovery which is worthy of early disclosure.
