3. Results and DiscussionIncorporating the wood fiber into a polymer matrix can be monitored with FTIR used in the Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR) mode. The spectra of dry composites display the characteristic -OH absorption peak associated with cellulose and hemicellulose fractions, which appears around 3500 cm−1. As expected, both HDPE and PP show this absorption band in that wavelength region.
