Abstract

This work addresses the role of various imaging techniques in investigating the morphology of the wood and wood polymer composites (WPC). Micrographs from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) were helpful in assessing the surface changes in the fibre and matrix due to the fibre treatment and coupling agent, interfacial adhesion between the fibre-matrix, failure behavior under various loads and degradation effects due to the aging. Images from the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were effective in determining the dispersion characteristics of additives in the polymer matrix. In addition to the microstructural images, quantitative assessment of the surface changes in the fibre and matrix can be obtained from the laser scanning microscope (LSM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images.
