Topic: Reinforcement of injection molded composites with virgin & recycled fibres and fiber sludge
Speaker：Elias Retulainen, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd
Abstract:
There is an increasing interest to the use biodegradable and renewable material in composites. Also the reinforcement materials should be renewable and biodegradable. Wood plastic composites have generally been based on wood flour and saw dust. The virgin pulp fibres are an interesting reinforcement material but more economical solution would be to use recycled fibres, or even side streams from recycling process. However, cutting of fibres in the compounding and molding process is currently limiting the effectiveness of wood pulp based fibres.
