Subsurface mechanical properties and subsurface creep behaviour of modified nanoclay-based wood–plastic composites studied by nanoindentation

Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) were prepared by polypropylene, wood flour, maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene and pristine (Na+ montmorillonite)/TMI-modified nanoclay using extruder followed by injection moulding technique. The surface mechanical properties of the nanoclay-based WPC were investi...
