MODIFIED PLANT-FIBER-REINFORCED FULLY BIODEGRADABLE WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITES FOR SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE: INTERFACE COMPATIBILITY AND AGING MECHANISM
The growing demand for sustainable materials in landscape architecture has highlighted the potential of polylactic acid/polybutylene adipate-terephthalate (PLA/PBAT)-based wood-plastic composites. However, poor interfacial compatibility between the hydrophilic plant fibers and the hydrophobic polyester matrices, couple...
