ABSTRACT

WPC boards were produced from recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) and wood from three different invasive species found in the Western Cape, South Africa with the aim of using them as ceiling boards in low-cost housing projects. The study determined differences between two different types of rLDPE and the tree species, as well as tree composition with regards to physical and mechanical board properties. It was found that the difference between using only wood, or the entire tree – with bark, twigs and leaves – as filler in WPC boards is hardly significant. However, the difference between the two sourced recycled plastic was notable.

抽象的

WPC板是由回收的低密度聚乙烯（rLDPE）和木材制成的，这些木材来自南非西开普省发现的三种不同的入侵物种，目的是在低成本的住房项目中将其用作天花板。该研究确定了两种不同类型的rLDPE与树木种类之间的差异，以及树木组成在物理和机械板性能方面的差异。结果发现，仅使用木材或整棵树（带有树皮，树枝和树叶）作为WPC板上的填料之间的区别几乎没有。但是，两种来源的再生塑料之间的区别是明显的。
