The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Wood Fiber Reinforced Polyethylene and Polypropylene Composites with High Modulus and Impact Strength (2008, background): “Although the melt viscosity of WPC can be reduced by increasing process temperature, the degradation of wood fiber at temperatures of 2008C limits the elevation temperature in the processing stage [3,8,19].”
Wood/plastic copyrolysis in an auger reactor: Chemical and physical analysis of the products (2009, methodology): “A pyrolysis temperature of 450 C was selected based on an extensive pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, PyGC/MS study of the plastics, wood and wood/plastic mixtures [21,22] and the existing pyrolysis literature [10–12,23,24].”
Co-pyrolysis of pine cone with synthetic polymers (2010, background): “Biomass has lower thermal stability compared to plastics and thus it could affect their radical degradation mechanism by promoting the degradation of synthetic macromolecules [1].”
