The focus of this study was to characterize mechanical and physical properties of experimental composition prepared from nanoclays (Cloisite® 20A), wood flour (WF) and polypropylene (PP). Nanoclays with different concentrations were used as reinforcing filler for wood plastic compositions (WPCs). Ma...
