2. Composite lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_lumber

   Until the 1990s, wood was the material of choice for deck construction. However, new products, composites, began to emerge at this time. These new products offered the look and workability of wood, but they were more water resistant and required less maintenance. Over time, these lower maintenance decking options increased in popularity.

3. Geopolymer bonded wood composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopolymer_bonded_wood...

   The main functions of wood in the composite material are weight reduction, reduction of thermal conductivity [1] [2] and the fixture function [3] whereas the main functions of geopolymer are bonding of wood particles, improvement of fire resistance, [4] providing mechanical strength, [5] improvement of humidity resistance and protection against fungal and insect damages.

4. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

   Large self-supporting wooden roof built for Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, man-made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation [1] to form ...

5. Wood–plastic composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–plastic_composite

   Wood-plastic composite. Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber/wood flour and thermoplastic(s) such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polylactic acid (PLA). In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.

6. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   Typical U.S. height for panels is 8 or 9 feet (2.4 or 2.7 m). Panels come in widths ranging from 4 to 12 inches (100–300 mm) thick and a rough cost is $4–$6/ft 2 in the U.S. [5] In 4Q 2010, new methods of forming radius, sine curve, arches and tubular SIPs were commercialized. Due to the custom nature and technical difficulty of forming and ...

7. Composite material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

   Panel stiffness is also dependent on the design of the panel. For instance, the fibre reinforcement and matrix used, the method of panel build, thermoset versus thermoplastic, and type of weave. In contrast to composites, isotropic materials (for example, aluminium or steel), in standard wrought forms, possess the same stiffness typically ...
