BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER COMPOSITE BASED ON POLYVINYL CHLORIDE AND WOOD WASTE. DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION by VLAD BARBULESCU, LAURENTIA ALEXANDRESCU, MIHAELA NITUICA, MIHAI GEORGESCU, MARIA SONMEZ, DANIELA-MARIA STELESCU, DANA GURAU

“…Wood waste resulting from wood processing into finished products is cryogenically ground to min. 500 nm, mechanically functionalized at temperature with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (7%) and compounded in varying proportions (10%, 20%, 50%). The new composite is biodegradable due to the compounding with wood fibers, have low density and implicitly the products made from, a lower weight, reduced costs and recover waste. …”
