In this chapter, the influences of nanoclay on the attributes of tropical wood polymer nanocomposites (WPNCs) were discussed. The impregnation of wood samples with nanoclay and in situ polymerization were employed by vacuum-pressure method. The comparisons of improvement in different properties have...
