Abstract
A manufacturing process for a material includes the steps of impregnating a predetermined amount of cellulose fibers with a predetermined amount of clay particulates, adding a predetermined amount of plastic, applying high heat to carbonize the combined materials and manipulating the combined materials while applying heat, and forming the carbonized combined materials by one of extrusion, casting, stamping, and as a 3-D printing filament
Claims17
A material comprising a cellulose material and clay combined with a molten plastic material at a normal operating range.
A manufacturing process for a material comprising the steps of:
- impregnating a predetermined amount of cellulose fibers with a predetermined amount of clay particulates;
- adding a predetermined amount of plastic;
- applying high heat to carbonize the combined materials and manipulating the combined materials while applying heat;
- and
- forming the carbonized combined materials by one of extrusion, casting, stamping, and as a 3-D printing filament.
A manufacturing process for a wood substitute material comprising the steps of:
- combining and mixing a predetermined amount of cellulose fibers selected from the group consisting of sawdust, wood chips, wood flakes, wood strips, fiber, bamboo, hemp, burlap, tweed, organic waste, and animal waste with a predetermined amount of clay particulates with a predetermined amount of clay particulates;
- adding a predetermined amount of plastic;
- applying high heat to carbonize the combined cellulose fibers, clay, and plastic materials and manipulating the combined materials while applying heat;
- and
- forming the carbonized combined materials by one of extrusion, casting, stamping, and as a 3-D printing filament.
