Abstract

The usefulness of solubility parameters in identifying miscible polymer blends is reviewed. The use of wood fibers in mixtures of recycled thermoplastics is of current interest. These composites do not require miscible blends of polymers, but must exhibit compatibility in order to have good adhesion and physical properties. The use of solubility parameters to design improved composites is cited. This approach is then applied to wood fiber/polyolefin thermoplastic composites.
