This project aims for the development of tough bio-based and biodegradable wood plastic composites (WPCs), directly addressing a key end-user demand that performance of bio-WPCs must be at least comparable with existing commercial WPCs. The project expects to generate key innovations such as developing a new, high performance, bio-based and biodegradable WPC by incorporating native spinifex-derived nano-cellulose fibres, ensuring excellent, molecular-level dispersion with a novel low-cost and energy-efficient wet-mix technology. This will provide significant benefits as it will lead to new products and markets for the Australian forestry industry and for rural and indigenous Australia, maximising Australia’s competitive advantage in biomass-derived products.

该项目旨在开发坚韧的生物基和可生物降解的木塑复合材料(WPC)，直接满足最终用户的一个关键需求，即生物WPC的性能必须至少与现有的商业WPC相当。该项目预计将产生关键创新，例如通过加入本地Spinifex衍生的纳米纤维素纤维，开发一种新的高性能、生物基和可生物降解的WPC，通过一种新的低成本和高能效的湿法混合技术确保优异的分子级分散。这将带来巨大的好处，因为它将为澳大利亚林业行业以及澳大利亚农村和土著带来新的产品和市场，最大限度地提高澳大利亚在生物质衍生产品方面的竞争优势。
