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.
Wood is a composite material made from lignin and cellulose. Wood makes use of a lignin matrix and cellulose fibers to form a polymer composite. The lignin holds the cellulose compressively in place so that the cellulose fibers can carry tensile loads.
