Abstract
Wood–plastic composites (WPC) were prepared with kadom and mango wood of Bangladesh under Co-60 gamma irradiation using methylmethacrylate (MMA) as the bulk monomer mixed with methanol (swelling solvent) at different proportions in presence of a number of additives such as N-vinyl pyrrolidone, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, trimethylol propane triacrylate, copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, and urea. Composites prepared with urea, NVP, and CuSO4 possess better tensile and protective properties.Keywords
