Latin Americanists and film aficionados might recognize the setting of Irma Voth and the film-within-the-novel from Silent Light (Stellet Licht), the 2007 Plattdeutsch-language film by Carlos Reygadas.
Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber / wood flour and thermoplastic(s) (includes PE, PP, PVC etc.). Chemical additives seem practically invisible (except mineral fillers and pigments, if added) in the composite structure.
Other composites are synthetic (man-made). Plywood is a man-made composite that combines natural and synthetic materials. Thin layers of wood veneer are bonded together with adhesive to form flat sheets of laminated wood that are stronger than natural wood. Are plastics composites? Not all plastics are composites.
