Abstract This study investigated the characteristics of wood fiber/polycaprolactone composite after an artificial accelerated
thermo-oxidative aging treatment. The effect of time, temperature and humidity during the treatment on their
mechanical, chemical and morphology properties were evaluated. The composite was prepared from melted wood
fibers and modified polycaprolactone by a molding process. A temperature and humidity controllable test chamber was used for the thermo-oxidative aging of the composite. The thermo-oxidative aging caused surface of the
composite to be much more rougher and even a few cracks and holes appeared on it. According to the spectra of
