Abstract

A method of joining wood material and plasstic material. An anchoring layer is applied to the area of the wood material that is to be joined to the plastic material and adhesively joined to the respective area which has a high specific surface area and with which the plastic material is joined by injection molding. The resultant composite material can be used in particular in the furniture sector and in housing construction, where low-cost and stable veneered plastic parts can be produced by the method, which can be made fire-proof by using appropriate plastic materials. Additional fields of application are the automobile industry, the construction of campers and boats, and aircraft construction. The wood material that is mainly used is veneer wood, because of the high quality of the visible surface of the composite.
