Third BioStruct training event

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) have been an important research topic in Europe over the past few years. This is due both to the increasing price of standard polymers and the need to shift towards sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials.

BioStruct aims to develop the next generation of wood and cellulose-reinforced composites – so-called „enhanced wood-plastic composites" or eWPCs – for complex structural and multifunctional components. The project will involve both the development of new materials with improved and consistent mechanical and thermal properties, and the development of suitable processes to maximise the potential of these materials. The newly developed materials and processes will be implemented in four different industrial sectors: automotive, construction, electronics and packaging.
