## Abstract The effect of wood species on the mechanical and thermal properties of woodβplastic composites (WPCs) was explored. Various wood species, including cherry, sweet gum, hickory, yellow poplar, Osage orange, walnut, eastern red cedar, pine, maple, and red oak, were compounded with virgin i

Silicon and titanate coupling agents are used to process the surface of ammonium nitrate (AN) particles in order to decrease their surface tension, improve affinity to the adhesive and the adhesive strength of the surface, and improve the mechanical property of an AN/polyurethane (PU) energy composi
Composites were made from rubberwood in the form of fibers (RWF) and powder (RWP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The RWP-HDPE composites showed higher tensile strength than those of the fibers. The inferior properties of the RWF-filled composites were believed to be attributed to the agglomer
