Abstract:
In this research, the aim is to transform, waste wood powders and dry leaves into eco-friendly wood polymer composites, prioritizing the reinforcement of waste wood with MDI polymer matrix. The mechanical tests including tensile, compressive, and flexural strength assessments conducted according to ASTM standards, were used to optimize composition. By varying wood reinforcement from 30-50 wt%, the study found a significant enhancement in composite properties as particle weight percentage increased relative to the matrix material. Hence, the study proposes that cost-effective reinforcement from waste wood powders and dry leaves and MDI-based polymer composites could effectively substitute traditional wood and metal materials. This is especially relevant in sectors such as packaging industries, providing solutions that are both lightweight and high in strength
