Wood-polymer composites based on high-density polyethylene and two types of pine-wood filler were investigated.It is shown that the addition of long wood fibres to common polyethylene leads to a substantial increase in stiffness, i.e. from 504 MPa for PE-HD up to 1526 MPa for PE-HD with 60% wood fibres.Moreover, morphological investigations revealed that superficial wood particles were sufficiently embedded in the base polymer ensuring protection against higher moisture uptake rates.
