wood plastic combination has received much attention and 

 publicity; there is also hope that basic research might lead 

 to a clue for improving the resistance of wood to natural

 of breaking down wood structures to extract cellulose and 

 various other chemicals, seem the most assured of continued 

 markets and growth reasonably free from the fear of compe- 

 tition.
