The present invention provides a personal protection device (e.g. an arm guard or a hip guard) for protecting a portion of a wearer's body (e.g. their arm or hip) from injuries arising from hazardous occupations or from trips and falls by elderly or infirm individuals. The personal protection device comprises a lining layer for facing the wearer's body and an opposing composite layer superimposed on said lining layer. The composite layer comprises wood particles within a thermoplastic polymer matrix. The lining and composite layers are shaped to substantially match the contour of the portion of the wearer's body (shin). A moldable blank for forming a sports protection device is also provided. Also provided is a support device (e.g. a back rest/lumbar support) comprising a composite layer formed of wood particles within a thermoplastic polymer matrix.

Aerated composite materials in the shape of a three-dimensional objects and methods of producing the same. The composite comprises a thermoplastic biodegradable polyester mixed with reinforcing agents selected from particles of woody materials having a smallest dimension greater than 0.1 mm. The composite material further comprises regions of elasticity formed by incisions which upon stretching will yield open pores. The incised regions will also provide for flexibility or semi-rigidity in at least one dimension. The material can be used in comfortable splints and circumferential casts.

Novel composite materials, methods of producing the same and uses thereof. The composite materials which have the shape of three-dimensional object comprise a first component formed by a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of biodegradable polyesters and mixtures thereof, and a second component formed by particles of a woody material,having a smallest dimension greater than 0.1 mm which reinforce the polyester. The material also has regions of elasticity or softness to provide for objects having properties of flexibility or semi-rigidity in at least one dimension. The material semi-rigid materials can be molded and worked at temperatures below 70 °C and are suitable for splints and circumferential casts.

A bandaging material in the form of a linear structure. The material comprises a first layer formed by a composite containing a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of polymers and mixtures thereof, and a woody material derived from platy or granular wood particles having a minimum average size in one dimension of 0.1 mm. The material further comprises a second layer of a textile material having a first and a second surface. The first layer is superposed on said second layer in such a way that said first layer is essentially attached only to the first surface of said second layer. In this way, a bandaging material is obtained which has a suitably small self-adhesion which allows for it being coiled to a roll without force during manufacturing process. The bandaging material can further be uncoiled smoothly by hand followed by subsequent applying of it around limb at application temperature without delamination.

The present invention concerns a novel low-temperature thermoplastic wood-biopolymer composite comprised of small wood particles and a polycaprolactone (PCL) homopolymer for use in medical procedures including orthopedic casting or splinting. The material is made from a thermoplastic composite that softens when heated to approximately 60 .degree.C, after which it can be formed directly on the patient. The composite then retains its shape as it cools down. The material is composed of epsilon caprolactone homopolymer reinforced with discontinuous short length wood particles.

The invention relates to a method for making light-weight dimensionally stable wood- thermoplastic composite material composed of wood chips and a thermoplastic polycaprolactone. The manufacturing process of composite material comprising the steps of compounding virgin materials with single-screw extruder and production of uniform homogenous plate-like composite with calendering apparatus. The calendering process comprises of several cycles, folding, cooling and reheating steps. During the gentle manufacturing process fragile wood chips maintain their 3-D structural properties in polymer matrix resulting light, mechanically strong wood-plastic composite.
