Author: Wolcott, Michael P ; Pierre-Laborie, Marie ; Smith, Paul ; Damohapatra, Sudipta ; McDonald, Armando ; Yang, Han-Seung ; Chowdhury, Sudip ; Yadama, Vikram ; McGraw, Daniel ; Smith, Timothy
Subjects: BUILDINGS ; COATINGS ; COMPOSITE MATERIALS ; Construction Equipment, Materials & Supplies ; CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ; Laminates and Composite Materials ; LATERAL LOADS ; LIGHT FRAME CONSTRUCTION ; OSB(ORIENTED STRAND BOARD) ; Plastics ; POLYMER MATRIX ; POLYMERS ; SIDING ; SIDING ACCESSORIES ; SILL PLATES ; WEATHERING ; WOOD ; WOOD FIBER ; Wood, Paper and Related Forestry Products ; WPC(WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITES)
Description: SIDING AND TRIM COMPONENTS: Task S1 - Evaluate the durability perceptions, WPC substitution potential, and reasons for adopting (purchasing & carrying) new building materials from key members of the value chain (building material wholesalers and retailers). Task S2 - Examine the value propositions for specific residential siding and siding accessories and OSB products from the perspective of the manufacturer and key channel members. Task S3 - Evaluation of interactions between coupling agent, wood fiber and polymer matrix with solid state NMR. Task S4 - Development of finishes for wood/plastic composites. Task S5 - Siding and trim components with improved weathering performance. INTEGRATED SILL PLATE RIM BOARD ELEMENTS: Task C1 - Examine the commercial solutions currently available for resisting lateral loads in the light-frame construction and provide a market assessment of the competitive landscape for these solutions. Task C2 - Mechanisms to improve the durability of Oriented Strand Board (OSB). Task C3 - Develop wood-plastic composite sill plate/rim board construction system. Prepared in cooperation with Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA; University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; University of Idaho, Department of Forest Products, Moscow, ID.
