What is the role of coupling agents in WPC outdoor armchair composites?
Coupling agents play a vital role in Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) outdoor armchair composites by improving the bonding between wood fibers and plastic matrices. These agents act as chemical bridges, enhancing interfacial adhesion, which results in better mechanical properties, durability, and resistance to moisture and weathering. In outdoor furniture like armchairs, coupling agents ensure long-term structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. They also reduce material degradation, making WPC armchairs more sustainable and cost-effective for outdoor use. Understanding their function helps in selecting the right composites for high-performance outdoor furniture.
