“…The results showed that the flexural strength of the uncrosslinked specimens was increased. Acosta et al [ 15 ] used the vacuum-compression method and 1.5 wt.% benzoyl peroxide as an initiator to impregnate wood with vinyl acetate monomer, and the bending strength of the treated WPC was superior to that of the original.…”

“…Therefore, the main principle of improving the mechanical properties of lignocellulosic materials is to enhance the interface bonding force between materials and substrates. The main methods to enhance the interfacial bonding strength are surface pretreatment of substrate and raw material, including physical and chemical methods [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], as well as adding modifiers, including compatibilizers, coupling agents, etc. Other methods include adding nanoscale inorganic minerals for composite modification.…”

Wood–plastic composite (WPC) is a kind of composite material that is made of plastic and wood fiber or wood powder. Because it is mothproof, is resistant to corrosion, and has plasticity, among other advantages, it has been researched and used increasingly in building materials. The flexural property of WPC is an important subject in evaluating its mechanical properties. In this paper, wood–plastic raw materials and processing technology are introduced; the internal and external factors of WPC which affect the flexural properties are analyzed; the different ways of enhancing the bending capacity, including the surface pretreatment, addition of different modifiers (compatibility agent and coupling agent) etc. are summarized; and the methods of operation and strengthening effect are analyzed. This work provides a reference for further research in related fields.
