Abstract Wood-plastic composite is an environmentally friendly material, due to
its use of recycled thermoplastics and plant fibers. However, its surface lacks
attractive aesthetic qualities. In this paper, a method of decorating wood fiber/
high-density polyethylene (WF/HDPE) without adding adhesive was explored.
Canvas or polyester fabrics were selected as the surface decoration materials.
The influence of hot-pressing temperature and WF/HDPE ratio on the adhesion
was studied. The surface bonding strength, water resistance, and surface color
were evaluated, and observation within the infrared spectrum and under scanning
electron microscopy was used to analyze the bonding process. The results showed
that the fabric… More >
