Wood plastic composite (WPC) materials are mainly used as building slabs and load-bearing slabs, which will cause creep deformation, structural failure, and safety problems. Therefore, this work used high-density polyethylene and poplar wood flour as the main raw materials to prepare wood–plastic bo...
