Learn MoreLe composite bois-polymère (CBP) est un matériau de construction fait de polymère chargé de particules ou fibres de bois. La popularité de ce matériau est grandissante, mais ses propriétés mécaniques le limite aux applications non-structurales. Le projet propose d'évaluer cinq approches qui permettraient d’élargir le spectre d’utilisation des CBP et d'augmenter significativement leurs propriétés mécaniques: 1) Évaluer le potentiel de différentes matrices pour la production de CBP et en optimiser les paramètres de fabrication; 2) Incorporer les fibres synthétiques haute performance dans la conception des CPB; 3) Ajouter une matrice thermodurcissables dans la formulation des CBP; 4) Ajouter des nanoparticules pour renforcer les CBP; et 5) Modifier la chimie de surface des fibres de bois. Ce projet permettrait à la fois de valoriser les résidus de production des partenaires et de diversifier leurs paniers de produits.
