- Abstract
The article presents a study that investigated the thermal sensitivity, nucleating ability, and nonisothermal crystallization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with different wood fillers during wood/HDPE melt processing using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The study revealed that the wood degraded at a lower temperature than HDPE while there was a similarity between the thermal decomposition behavior across wood species.
