Description

Hailong Xu and six co-authors published this study in 2024. It tests boards made by blending wood flour into a common plastic. Two tree species from China, Masson pine and Chinese fir, were mixed in seven ratios, from all pine to all fir.

The team measured color, density, water swelling, strength, stiffness, and how the boards sag slowly under a steady load. More fir flour generally raised strength and stiffness, though slow sag also grew. The boards' spring-like stiffness rose with fir share, while energy loss fell. Several math models were tried against the data. A refined mixture model matched the strength results best, and a modified time model matched the sag results best. The findings help builders pick a wood mix for panels that must hold up outdoors.
