Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of post-consumer waste plastics from a kerbside collection, reinforced with high temperature mechanical pulp Pinus Radiata fibres. Composite specimens are manufactured in sheet form from relatively large fibre mats, produced by a novel mat forming technique through a bulk consolidation process. Tensile strength and modulus of the composite sheets are determined as a function of wood fibre content. A significant part of the investigation is dedicated to the understanding of the formability of these composite sheets using dome forming , aided by a specially developed software package based on kinematic principles, known as grid strain analysis. 22 refs.
