Hot-Pressing Process of Flat-Pressed Wood-Polymer Composites: Theory and Experiment.

The objective of this research was to develop a mathematical model of the hot-pressing process for making flat-pressed wood-polymer composites (FPWPCs). This model was used to calculate and predict the temperature and time required for FPWPC pressing. The model's performance was analysed using the experimental results of hot pressing FPWPCs.
