  <abstract>The "Engineering Materials" series provides topical information on innovative structural and functional materials with applications in mechanical, civil, and medical engineering. The individual volumes are complete and comprehensive monographs which usually treat the structure, properties, manufacturing, and applications of these materials. Besides materials scientists the series is intended for engineers in research and development. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) is a n lumber or timber made of recycled plástic and wood wastes which has become one of the most dynamic sectors of the plastics industry in this decade. It is used in numerous applications, such as, outdoor deck floors, railings, fences, landscaping timbers, park benches, window and door trames. This book starts with a briet glimpse at the basic structures and properties ot WPCs. Aspects such as surface treatment, machinery used and testing types of WPCs are also covered. The following chapters of the book give a view of foam technology, ñame retardant properties and colour retardant properties of WPCs. The way morphology affects or controls the physical and mechanical behaviours of the finished materials is discussed. Finally, the authors give an overview of the applications of wood-plastic composites in daily lite. The book may serve as a source book for scientists wishing to work in this field.</abstract>
