Wood plastic composites (WPCs) have often been used in consumer applications, automotive industry and exterior construction. WPCs consist mostly of wood and thermoplastic polymer. WPCs can have superior outdoor durability and much lower maintenance costs than regular wood. WPCs can be used instead of wood. Styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) is used in plastic composites for the automotive industry and also in engineering applications. SMA wood composites, as one of the WPCs using wood fibers as reinforcing fillers, produces composites with mechanical properties that are stiffer and stronger than he neat polymer. This paper evaluates the feasibility of using foamed SMA copolymer composites in wood applications. Although it is currently used in the automotive industry and construction industry, this copolymer presents interesting opportunities for wood applications.Drvo-plastični kompoziti (WPCs) imaju vrlo široku primjenu, a uglavnom se sastoje od drva i termoplastičnog polimera. Mogu imati vrhunsku trajnost na otvorenome i mnogo niže troškove održavanja od običnog drva te se mogu upotrebljavati svugdje gdje se obično upotrebljava drvo. Stiren anhidrid maleinske kiseline (SMA) primjenjuje se u plastičnim kompozitima za automobilsku industriju, ali i u tehnici. SMA drvni kompoziti jedan su od WPCs-a u kojima su drvna vlakanca punilo za ojačavanje kompozita i imaju bolja mehanička svojstva od čistog polimera. U ovom se radu procjenjuje isplativost upotrebe upjenjenih SMA kopolimera kao zamjene za drvo. Iako se zasad rabi u automobilskoj industriji i graditeljstvu, taj kopolimer ima višestruke mogućnosti primjene kao zamjena za drvo
