Abstract

This study aims to determine the Elasticity of Wood Polymer Composite (WPC). The composite was made using 15 grams of wood powder and 30 grams of plastic sheets, processed for 60 minutes at a pressure of 8 MPa. The temperature used was 125°C. The hot press method is one of the techniques commonly used to produce WPC. In this process, a mixture of wood fibre and plastic sheets is heated and pressurised below the temperature to compact and form the composite according to the desired mould. By creating a dogbone-shaped specimen with a distinctive shape, featuring a narrowed centre, the design is intended to ensure that failure occurs at the centre of the specimen when tested, thereby providing more accurate results about the material's strength.

Abstract

Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) is a composite material composed of wood powder and recycled plastic. This material has been widely developed as an environmentally friendly alternative since it combines the natural properties of wood with the advantages of polymers. The manufacturing process involves mixing wood powder and plastic, followed by heating and molding into various structural forms. WPC exhibits high strength, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions, making it a popular alternative to solid wood. A typical composition consists of 50% wood powder and 50% high-density polyethylene (HDPE). In addition to improving wood utilization efficiency, WPC also contributes to reducing plastic waste accumulation that is difficult to decompose in the environment.
