G0600-3-4 Formability and Flow Properties of Thermal Fluid of Wood Powder in Extrusion Process

Abstract

Woody biomass has come to attract attention as renewable resources because of the issue of global warming and air pollution. Plastics substitution is one of the most promising utility form of woody biomass, and many studies have been made on the molding method of wood. But that has been no study on the injection molding of thermal fluid wood powder. To clarity viscous property of thermal fluid wood powder, experimental studies on the flow characteristics of thermal fluid wood powder are conducted. It is confirmed that thermal fluid wood powder has non-Newtonian flow property, and the empirical equation to predict the viscosity is developed.
