## Abstract The effect of wood species on the mechanical and thermal properties of wood–plastic 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
Talc-filled polypropylene (PP) composites coupled with silane-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-Si) were prepared. Effect of PP-g-Si on the mechanical properties, crystallization, and melting behavior of PP composites was investigated. Compared with the uncoupled composites, the mechanical properties of T
