Nakonechna A. Commodity research evaluation of consumer properties of new wood-polymer materials

This dissertation is dedicated to elaboration and examining consumer characteristics of new wood-polymer composites. New wood-polymer materials are made on the basis of unmarketable timber - birch with film-forming admixture of stirene-heroxide lauryl composition and new film-forming composite based on polyestermaleate resin used for wood impregnation. The definition of physical-mechanical, chemical, dielectric, thermophysical, esthetic and toxicological-hygienic properties of wood-polymer materials had been carried out in this work. It had been determined that during the process of polymerization of film-forming substances near-surfaces of polymer develop in pores of wood. Their interaction with wood lead to changes in structure both of wood and polymer and to significant increase in consumer characteristics of new wood-polymer goods. Basic results of this work have been applied in industry and proved by considerable economic effect.
