  text: <jats:p> Microcellular wood fiber reinforced polymers offer the possibility
    to reduce the use of fossil raw materials. In particular, thick-walled structures
    with thicknesses greater than 6 mm offer a high potential for weight savings.
    This study investigates the cell structures and mechanical properties of injection-molded
    test specimens. The influence of different thicknesses (6–10 mm) along with different
    chemical blowing agents (endothermic, exothermic) with varying dosages (0–2 wt%)
    is analyzed. The investigations reveal that exothermic chemical blowing agents
    form finer cells consistently to thin-walled structures than endothermic ones.
    Higher foaming agent content leads to higher pore fractions, with many small cells
    coalescing into a large open-pore cell network. The mechanical properties depend
    mainly on the pore content of the sample. The specific tensile properties deteriorate
    with the use of chemical blowing agents (CFA), whereas the sandwich structure
    produced with compact edge layers has a positive influence on the specific flexural
    properties. </jats:p>
