摘要:A new technology for making bamboo laminated veneer lumber was developed by the authors.Bambusa distegia and Phyllostachys heterocycla were used to make the veneer lumber for container flooring and wind blade applications.It was found that: 1) the laminated veneer lumber,made from bamboo without the outer and inner surfaces,showed superior performance than that made from all bamboo parts.2) The laminated veneer lumber made from Bambusa distegia had better performance than that made from Phyllostachys heterocycla.3) For the 30 mm-thick lumber made from Bambusa distegia,its mechanical properties increased as the density increased from 1.0 g/cm3 to 1.2 g/cm3,and could meet the national standard specifications for container flooring and wind blade making materials.
摘要:The authors processed cotton stalks into fiber and particles,and combined them with recycled plastics,polypropylene(PP)and polyethylene(PE),to prepare cotton stalk fiber/plastic composites by hot pressing.The composite panel properties were tested to evaluate the effects caused by the cotton stalk shapes and panel processing factors.The results showed that: 1) The composites made from the cotton stalk particles had better properties than those made from cotton stalk fibers;2) Density,hot-pressing temperature and the cotton stalk/plastic ratio had a great effect on the cotton-stalk-fiber/polypropylene panel properties.Under optimized conditions,the cotton-stalk-fiber /polypropylene panel properties exceeded the specifications of national standard GB/T 4897.6-2003,GB/T 4897.7-2003 for structural particleboards.
摘要:Highland bamboo(Arundinaria alpine) is one of the most important bamboo species in Africa.To investigate its feasibility in structural applications,the authors tested its physical-mechanical properties when made into laminated bamboo boards and bamboo plywood.The properties of both original and composite bamboo products were tested and compared with Moso bamboo(Phyllostachys pubescens).The results showed that Highland bamboo exhibited higher stiffness and shrinkage results than Moso bamboo.Highland bamboo laminated boards had properties similar to high-grade structural laminated veneer lumber when evaluated against the JAS standard(MAFF,Notification No.237,2003).Bamboo plywood also exhibited excellent properties exceeding the specifications at the OSB/4 Level in the European standard(EN 300-2006).
摘要:Biocomposites were made using poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate)(PHBV),natural bamboo fiber,epoxidized soybean oil(ESO),a coupling agent and a nucleating agent.The effect of ESO contents on the processing and properties of the biocomposites was studied.The results showed that the processing properties of biocomposites were greatly improved with the addition of ESO;the optimum content of ESO was 0.15 times the quatity of PHBV.

摘要:The authors tested the physical and mechanical properties and fire resistance of Cryptomeria fortunei boards following impregnation with melamine-urea-formaldehyde(MUF) resin and a mixture of MUF/boric acid/borax(MBB).Results showed that by increasing the concentration of the MUF and MBB solutions,the weight,bending strength,modulus of elasticity,modulus of rupture,dimensional stability and fire resistance of treated wood were improved.
摘要:A control system,based on a microcontroller for a measuring instrument,was developed for formaldehyde and other volatile organic compound emissions.This article described the system hardware construction,software processing,and how to combine them in the system to realize real-time measuring and automatic controlling.The application of this system,for a 1-cubic formaldehyde measuring system,showed that the temperature and humidity control reached ±0.5% and ±1%,respectively.The cost for this micro-controlled instrument was reduced compared with that for a programmable logic controller.An intelligent man-machine interface,based on a touch screen,was also designed to make this an easily operated system.
摘要:The authors introduced definitions and classification of biomass as well as biomass materials.The present situation and issues of biomass materials industry in China were summarized.Proposals to develop forestry biomass materials industry were put forward.
摘要:The authors analyzed the consumer demand for the Chinese-style Hongmu furniture market in China.They also presented a concept and some innovative design styles for new Chinese-style furniture.
摘要:The authors analyzed the accuracy and detection limit to determine phenol in 4-amino-antipyrine by spectrophotometry and HPLC.The results showed that the precision and accuracy of both HPLC and spectrophotometry were very high.Spectrophotometry was easy to operate,had a lower limit of detection and lower cost.Spectrophotometry was recommended to determine phenol emission from PF wood products.

摘要:Outdoor wood-based panels for building template and packaging applications are beginning to increase in the Chinese market.This article summarizes the main product categories and distribution for outdoor panels in China.It also illustrates the standard in both China and developed countries.Currently,the Chinese standards only concern common property testing methods,while the overseas standards regulate specific property testing methods such as accelerated aging and safety evaluation.It suggests that a standard system for Chinese outdoor panels including production and performance test methods should be established.

摘要:In the Chinese National standard for laminated flooring,equalization treatment is not a necessary processing method.Thus,the authors conducted an experiment to investigate how board property testing results could be influenced by an equalization treatment.They selected a laminated flooring,a high density fiberboard(HDF) substrate and three equalizing conditions: standard temperature and relative humidity((20±2) ℃,(65±5)%),low temperature and low relative humidity((10±2) ℃,(30±5)%),and high temperature and high relative humidity((30±2) ℃,(90±5)%).The results indicated that,compared with the specimens treated under standard conditions,low-condition treated specimens showed relatively higher properties while the high-condition treated specimens showed lower properties.The results suggested that an equalization treatment is not necessary for testing board density because the difference among different-condition-treated specimens was very small.However,equalization treatment should be done for board thickness swelling rate testing for which was highly influenced by treating conditions.

摘要:The authors evaluated the free formaldehyde concentration at different sections of a MDF production line with capacity of 200 000 m3/a,with special attention in the area around the forming machine and hot-press.The results showed that the formaldehyde concentration was less than 0.12mg/m3 in the control room and defibrator workroom which means it can meet the standard requirements.The formaldehyde concentration in the store house was 0.16 mg/m3,thus requiring ventilation.The formaldehyde concentration in the forming and hot-pressing areas was 0.33mg/m3 and 0.86 mg/m3,respectively,requiring measures to improve the ventilation or to add worker safety facilities.

摘要:Micro/nano fibrils were used to modify melamine formaldehyde(MF) resin and a soybean resin as a surface coating on plywood face layer veneer and the plywood bonding adhesive,respectively.The authors evaluated the color fastness of the dyed poplar veneer face layer,the surface wear resistance and the plywood bond strength.The results showed that adding the micro/nano fibrils to both the MF and soybean resins improved the color fastness and the surface wear resistance as well as enhancing the poplar plywood bond strength.
摘要:In order to improve rubber wood(Hevea brasiliensis) biological durability,the authors studied the effect of steam heat treatment(170215 ℃) on the weight,color,pH value and moisture content of heat-treated rubber wood.The results indicated that with increasing temperature,the mass loss rate and chromatic aberration △E of the samples increased,but the color become darker,brightness L*,equilibrium moisture content and pH value decreased.
摘要:A series of vacuum drying tests were conducted on timbers of plantation larch.The authors studied the effect of vacuum pressure(200,400 mmHg) and initial medium drying temperatures(6188 ℃) on the drying rate and moisture content deviation of the specimens.The results showed that the drying rate and moisture content deviation of the samples,were optimized by vacuum drying technology.By increasing the initial temperatures,the drying rate increased,but the drying rate decreased when the drying medium temperature increased.
