  • Beschreibung: AbstractAminosilane, melamine and acetic anhydride treated wood flour were added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in order to process improved PVC/wood flour composites. The influence of wood treatment on water absorption and mechanical properties were evaluated. Treatments with amino‐alkyl functional oligomeric siloxane and melamine in suitable concentration as well as acetylated wood flour composites showed decreased equilibrium moisture content and reduced speed of water absorption. Tensile strength, elongation at break and unnotched impact strength were considerably improved by the aminosilane treatments. The increase in strength and elongation was mainly influenced by the chemical structure and concentration of the used aminosilanes. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
