Why is it important?
To monitor the durability of untreated and heat-treated wood fibre reinforced plastic composites when used in outdoors.
Perspectives
This article has suggested a possible way of fibre treatment (by slightly heating) and subsequent application in thermoplastic composites used in external environment.
