Zusammenfassung: | The melting temperature of nylon 12 is lower than the degradation temperature of wood, which makes the preparation of wood‐(nylon 12) composites through a regular compounding/compression molding process possible. Results indicated that wood‐(nylon 12) composites had higher modulus of rupture, higher modulus of elasticity, and higher tensile strength than nylon 12, wood‐polypropylene (PP) composites, and wood‐high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites, respectively. Wood‐(nylon 12) composites also had higher thermal stability than wood‐PP composites and wood‐HDPE composites. Acting as a nucleating agent, wood increased the crystallization temperature and the degree of crystallinity of nylon 12 in wood‐(nylon 12) composites. The superior mechanical properties of wood‐(nylon 12) composites were ascribed to the good interfacial adhesion between wood and nylon 12 and the increased transcrystallinity of nylon 12 by wood. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
