## Abstract The effects of different color pigments on the durability of wood‐flour/high‐density polyethylene composites (WF/HDPE) were evaluated by UV‐accelerated weathering tests. WF/HDPE composites were dyed using three different color inorganic pigments, which were added at 2% based on the weig

## Abstract Wood–plastic lumber is promoted as a low‐maintenance high‐durability product. When exposed to accelerated weathering, however, wood–plastic composites may experience a color change and loss in mechanical properties. Differences in weathering cycle and composite surface characteristics c
## Abstract Effects of wood flour species and polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride (MA‐PE) on mechanical properties and morphology and torque rheology of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/wood flour composites have been comparatively investigated. The results demonstrated that without compatbi
