Self-protecting of wood-plastic composites against microorganisms and UV radiation

Key Points

• Self-protecting wood-plastic composites show significant resistance to microorganisms and UV radiation.
• In tests, these composites maintained integrity after multiple exposures to UV light over six months.
• Observational analysis on various formulations of wood-plastic composites demonstrated their protective qualities.
• Highlights potential applications in outdoor environments where traditional materials may degrade quickly.
