Abstract
Polyethylene/wood composites have attracted considerable attention in research and industry due to several advantages including biodegradability, low density, low cost, high stiffness, availability of renewable natural resources. This paper reviews the recent progress on thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties as well as degradation behavior of polyethylene/wood composites. In addition, fire properties and water resistance of the composites are introduced. The potential applications of polyethylene/wood composites are also highlighted. The discussion of the different properties showed that the wood additives can be an effective method to improve the performance of polyethylene materials for industrial applications.
