Effect of Nano-ZnO on Decay Resistance and Artificial Weathering of Wood Polymer Composite
Wood polymer nanocomposite (WPNC) was prepared by impregnation of styrene and Nano zinc oxide into poplar wood (Populus deltoids Marsh.). WPNCs containing different loading of nano zinc oxide, namely 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 percent (by weight of monomer), were made. Then the effect of addition of nanoparticles on the decay resistance and artificial weathering were studied. The WPNCs were subsequently exposed to the ... view moreĀ»
