Latin Americanists and film aficionados might recognize the setting of Irma Voth and the film-within-the-novel from Silent Light (Stellet Licht), the 2007 Plattdeutsch-language film by Carlos Reygadas.
Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber / wood flour and thermoplastic(s) (includes PE, PP, PVC etc.). Chemical additives seem practically invisible (except mineral fillers and pigments, if added) in the composite structure.
Since the days of adobe, the use of composites has evolved to commonly incorporate a structural fiber and a plastic, this is known as Fiber Reinforced Plastics, or FRP for short. Like straw, the fiber provides the structure and strength to the composite, while a plastic polymer holds the fiber together.Common types of fibers used in FRP composites include: 1  Fiberglass. 2  Carbon Fiber.ince the days of adobe, the use of composites has evolved to commonly incorporate a structural fiber and a plastic, this is known as Fiber Reinforced Plastics, or FRP for short.
