In this work, the changes in moisture content (MC), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), screw holding force and creep recovery rates of two groups of wood-plastic composites (WPC) after natural   and accelerated  aging  (high-low  temperature  cycles  and  freeze-thaw  cycles)  were  studied   to provide guidance for the use of WPC in outdoor applications. The results showed that,   after the natural aging and freeze-thaw cycles treatments, MC increased significantly with both 167% of the untreated value of wood-HDPE composites with 30% wood fiber content and a thickness of 25 mm (W25), while 67% and 133% of the wood-HDPE composites with 30% wood fiber content and a thickness of 20 mm (W20), but is almost unchanged after    the treatment with high-low temperature cycles. The mechanical strength, including MOR, MOE, screw holding force and creep recovery rate, decreased after natural and accelerated aging. The greatest decreases of MOR, MOE, screw holding force and creep recovery rate were 14%, 13%, 21%, and 7% for W25, while 5%, 8%, 8%, and 14% for W20 respectively. Environmental aging can reduce the strength of WPC, but the bending strength retention rate is more than 85%, showing that performance of WPC is relatively stable compared to wood materials, which is one of the reasons for the widely use of WPC in outdoor applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3584],"tags":[2457,3682,3683,3681],"release_year":[],"ppma_author":[3677,3678,3679,3680],"class_list":["post-3976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wood-research-volume-66-number-5-2021","tag-creep-performance","tag-freeze-thaw-cycles","tag-high-low-temperature-cycles","tag-natural-aging"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Maro\u0161 Kov\u00e1\u010d","author_link":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/author\/kovacvupc-sk\/"},"authors":[{"term_id":3677,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"liyuan-zhao","display_name":"Liyuan Zhao","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""},{"term_id":3678,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"bin-lv","display_name":"Bin Lv","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""},{"term_id":3679,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"xiaorui-peng","display_name":"Xiaorui Peng","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""},{"term_id":3680,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"yuejin-fu","display_name":"Yuejin Fu","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3976"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3979,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976\/revisions\/3979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3976"},{"taxonomy":"release_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/release_year?post=3976"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=3976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
