Abstract
Various tropical wood species are abundantly available in Southeast Asia especially in Borneo Island. In this study selected tropical wood species namely Eugenia spp. Artocarpus rigidus A. elasticus Koompassia malaccensis and Xylopia spp. were chemically treated with sodium periodate solution to convert them into wood polymer composites WPCs. Manufactured wood polymer composites were characterized using microstructural analysis Fourier transform infrared FTIR spectroscopy and free-free vibration testing. Identification of Borneo wood species suitable for WPC and development of WPCs from various tropical woods were also carried out. The dynamic Youngs modulus Ed was calculated from the vibrational testing. FTIR spectroscopic analysis results indicated the absorption band of raw wood at 1618 cm-1 was due to carbonyl stretching and WPCs showed increased absorption band near 1716 cm-1 The manufactured WPCs yielded higher Youngs modulus than the respective raw woods. Artocarpus elasticus WPC had the highest Youngs modulus compared with the other four WPCs.
