## Abstract Although woodโplastic composites have become more accepted and used in recent years and are promoted as lowโmaintenance, highโdurability building products, they do experience a color change and a loss in mechanical properties with accelerated weathering. In this study, we attempted to c
The mechanical properties of newly developed aspen fiber-polypropylene composites (APC) were experimentally explored and numerically predicted at the temperatures and humidity that are typical for domestic housing applications. The mechanical properties of APCs with five different fiber-loadings wer
