PP-COMPOSITES IN AUTOMOBILES?
CNF improves PP but not much as GF that is much heavier than WPC.
PP composites filled with cellulose nanofibers [5 ~15% by wt.]
PP composites filled with glass fiber/talc [20% by wt.]

WPC LIMITATIONS IN STRUCTURAL/AUTOMOBILE
MECHANICAL Low stiffness Low strength Low impact strength
DIMENSIONAL CREEP Moisture-induced Heat-induced Weight-induced
PHYSICAL Weak water resistance

WPC LIMITATIONS IN FORMULATIONS
FORMULATIONS Weak matrices
[PP, PE] Low Tm required Low heat resistance
INTERFACES Not strong bonding between
wood & plastics Coupling agent helps but
limited (2~5% by weight)

STRATEGIC APPROACHES
New polymer matrices Engineering polymers or blends:
PA, PET, SMA, HIPS etc.
New strength enhancers & Additives
Moisture-resistant fibers Hybrids with GF or CF fiber, etc.
New interfaces Chemical linkages Optimal compatability

SMA IN NEW HPTP-MW-WPC
Polymer blends with SMA & HPTP Styrene Maleic Anhydride copolymer [SMA]
SMA has been a popular polymer in automobiles because of its novel thermal, physical, & mechanical properties.
It is being used now as a metal replacement in EU automobiles.
Low CTE, heat performance, high surface energy, moldable for injection, compression, extrusion, etc.
Brittleness can be improved by polymer blends.
