Abstract

As the boundaries of engineering materials are pushed there is a wide increase in the demand for composite materials. In the past decade composite materials have been at the forefront of many engineering advancements. One of the category of composites which is wood plastic composites have emerged as a material with many uses especially in the construction industry. The combination of wood and thermoplastics form wood plastic composites which have unique mechanical properties which have been researched extensively. The usage of wood plastic composites as a building material has raised the concern on the thermal properties and flammability of wood plastic composite which this study is focusing on. The main reason behind this concern is due to the flammability of each separate material in the composite and if the combined composite is as flammable it could be catastrophic when used in the construction industry. The content of this study focuses on gathering previous research on the governing topics and forming better understanding on the thermal properties and flammability of wood plastic composites.
