Özet

Composite materials are put into use while their properties are improved by the researchers each passing day due to the advantages they provide and their variety in the application fields. One such renewable material is wood flour which is one of the most common forms of reinforcement in thermoplastics. Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are preferred in our study due to their advantages such as good resistance, low costs, availability and low wear on the processing equipment. In this study beech tree flour and polypropylene (PP) composites were produced and this composites mechanical properties were investigated. It has been observed that 5 composites which were produced by increasing the beech flour by 5wt%, have increased in Elasticity Module and hardness based on the ratio of the beech flour but on the other hand, its elongation and tensile strength has decreased. PP-20% beech flour mixture is seen to have the highest Elasticity Module and hardness. 61% decrease has been observed in tensile strength with the increasing flour ratio. Characterization of PP and PP-Wood beech composites has been carried out via thermal analysis and SEM methods.
