Abstract

The creation of composite materials based on polymers and shredded wood is determined by the successful combination of the technological properties of polymers with the structural and mechanical characteristics of wood, which allows for the development of composite systems with a high degree of filling. At the same time, economic and environmental issues are addressed, as fine-grained wood waste is used as a filler in most cases and does not require special preparation. In the article, the obtained results served as a scientific basis for the development of comprehensive measures for the formulation and technological support of the structure and properties of highly filled composites based on modified thermoplastic polymers and dispersed lignocellulose fillers in extrusion processing, including their biodegradation under operational conditions. Currently, the global community is also striving to reduce the use of polymer materials derived from petroleum products and to replace them with biodegradable ones. Biodegradable polymers are destroyed in the environment not only by external physical factors but also by microorganisms. The range of biodegradable polymers and their compositions is quite extensive, but due to their high cost, the problem of developing new types remains relevant.
