Polymer biodegradation: mechanisms and estimation techniques. (2008, background): “…construction materials, coatings and containers), these materials must combine unalterability and be fashioned preferentially from renewable resources (e.g. plant oil in thermoset, wood fiber in composites materials) (Wuambua et al., 2003; Mougin, 2006; Sudin and Swamy, 2006; Ashori, 2008).”
The utilization of bamboo charcoal enhances wood plastic composites with excellent mechanical and thermal properties (2014, background): “Amongthem, wood plastic composites (WPCs), manufactured products composed of woody materials and thermosetting/thermoplastic resins, are the potential materials since they are low-cost, biodegradable, renewable, and eco friendly [2–4].”
