TI  - Effect of Hybrid Talc-Basalt Fillers in the Shell Layer on Thermal and Mechanical 
      Performance of Co-Extruded Wood Plastic Composites.

AB  - Hybrid basalt fiber (BF) and Talc filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) and 
      co-extruded wood-plastic composites (WPCs) with different BF/Talc/HDPE 
      composition levels in the shell were prepared and their mechanical, morphological 
      and thermal properties were characterized. Incorporating BFs into the HDPE-Talc 
      composite substantially enhanced the thermal expansion property, flexural, 
      tensile and dynamic modulus without causing a significant decrease in the tensile 
      and impact strength of the composites. Strain energy estimation suggested 
      positive and better interfacial interactions of HDPE with BFs than that with 
      talc. The co-extruded structure design improved the mechanical properties of WPC 
      due to the protective shell layer. The composite flexural and impact strength 
      properties increased, and the thermal expansion decreased as BF content increased 
      in the hybrid BF/Talc filled shells. The cone calorimetry data demonstrated that 
      flame resistance of co-extruded WPCs was improved with the use of combined 
      fillers in the shell layer, especially with increased loading of BFs. The 
      combined shell filler system with BFs and Talc could offer a balance between cost 
      and performance for co-extruded WPCs.
