Biography

My research is about finding production parameters that allow dual process Wood Plastic Composite post-production line work in an optimal way mass production in mind. The research work has special attention on cutting and forming of a WPC material. In addition temperature control, tolerances of tools and assembly play major role in this research. The research also involves experimenting with a prototype WPC line and refinement of measured data into generalizable results for similar process lines in industry. In addition material formability and cutting tests are conducted. This research can have effect on amount of construction material ending to landfills as it is possible to utilize this waste in WPC. This process can be made more economical with correct process parameters.
