Modification of Pristine Nanoclay and its Application in Wood-Plastic Composite

Modification of Pristine Nanoclay and its Application in Wood-Plastic Composite

The modification of pristine nanoclay and its application in wood plastic composite (WPC) have been investigated in this paper. Pristine nanoclay was modified using transition metal ion (TMI) which was copper (II) chloride to achieve good dispersion and to improve properties of WPC. The morphology,...
