Effect of hemicellulose extraction on water absorption and mold susceptibility of wood–plastic composites

The hygroscopicity of woody materials results in moisture absorption into wood-based composites, including wood–plastic composites (WPC). The objective of this research was to improve the water resistance and mold resistance of WPC by extraction of hemicelluloses from the wood raw material. The trea...
