Morphological and Mechanical Properties of Bilayers Wood-Plastic Composites and Foams Obtained by Rotational Molding.

In this work, the suitability for the production of sustainable and lightweight materials with specific mechanical properties and potentially lower costs was studied. Agave fiber (AF), an agro-industrial waste, was used as a reinforcement and azodicarbonamide (ACA) as a chemical blowing agent (CBA) in the production of bilayer materials via rotational molding. The external layer was a composite of linear medium density polyethylene (LMDPE) with different AF contents (0-15 wt %), while the internal layer was foamed LMDPE (using 0-0.
