Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) represent<br />

an ecological alternative to conventional<br />

petroleum-derived materials. The wood<br />

distillates studied <strong>in</strong> this thesis displayed good<br />

potential as bio-based additives for WPCs<br />

as they improved the water resistance <strong>and</strong><br />

mechanical properties. It was also shown<br />

that proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight<br />

mass-spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) can be<br />

applied to study the release of volatile organic<br />

compounds (VOCs) from WPCs.<br />
