摘要:Drying glue-impregnated bamboo mats to moisture content around 8%~10% is a key process to make crushed bamboo-mat composites.The authors conducted an experiment to investigate how the drying temperatures could influence the composite’s properties.The results indicated that when the drying temperature was raised from 70 ℃ to 90 ℃,the modulus of rupture,modulus of elasticity,and horizontal shear strength(by vertical loading) of the composite increased and then decreased.However,the horizontal shear strength(by horizontal loading) and water-resistance gradually decreased.Considering the composite properties and product efficiency,the authors suggested that 80 ℃ drying temperature should be used for manufacturing the composite.
摘要:Recycled plastic with different particle size and impurity content were compounded with cotton stalk particles,after which the mixture was used to make cotton stalk/plastic composites through hot pressing.The effects of size and impurity of the recycled plastic on the composite properties were evaluated.The results show that: 1) the physical and mechanical properties of composites made with smaller plastic sizes perform better than those made with larger plastic sizes;2) cleaning the recycled plastic with water is more effective for improving the composite properties than increasing the waste plastic content.
摘要:Samples of China fir,Mongolian pine and Manchurian ash were used in this study to examine the influence of different cutting directions on cutting forces.The results showed that the cutting force was dependent upon wood grain direction.It was also observed that the cutting force reached the highest during cross cutting,while the cutting force during longitudinal cutting was higher than the force during transverse cutting.For the same cutting pattern,the cutting force on Manchurian ash samples was the highest and the China fir had the lowest resistant force.
摘要:Photo-discoloration of wood surfaces not only causes the degradation of the wood properties,but also affects the commercial value when being used in decorative furniture or flooring products.Wood specimens of eighteen different species,which are usually used for furniture,were selected for an accelerated ageing test.After exposing the specimens to a xenon light for a certain amount of time,the specimens were taken out and compared with standard color samples.Colorfastness to light was rated in accordance with the grey scale.
摘要:A study of xylanase enzyme treatment on poplar specimens was conducted to improve specimens ’ surface wetability and modulus of elasticity.The results showed that enzyme concentration and treatment duration had noticeable effect on the surface energy of poplar samples.Generally,high enzyme concentration and long treatment increased the surface contact angle and free energy,but modulus of elasticity increased at the initial stage,and then decreased.It was found,in this study,that the optimized treatment time was 6 hours with an enzyme concentration of 1 mL/g.

摘要:The authors presented the current status of research and its application in the following areas: particleboard preservatives,particleboard preservative treatment and the compatibility between preservatives and wood adhesives.Analysis was also made on the major barriers for applying preservatives in wood-based panels during the manufacturing process and suggestions were discussed toward overcoming those barriers.It is expected that the results will provide references for the domestic wood-based panel industry.
摘要:With the current policy implementation for developing rural communities,the construction industry,especially the furniture industry,is developing new a strategy to promote products and services to the new market.The authors conducted a residential cabinet market and consumer preference survey in new rural communities in Shandong province.The results will provide relevant suggestions for promoting building materials and cabinet products in this market.
摘要:This paper describes the classification and resources of wood wastes.To convert the wood waste to energy,the authors described the major advantages and disadvantages of three commonly-used bio-conversion techniques: fast pyrolysis,gasification,and pelletization.It is noted that a conversion technique should be adopted based on the characteristics and supply of wood wastes.The authors believed that the fast pyrolysis technology would have more potential in China.
摘要:The authors made a comprehensive analysis of the current Chinese wood flooring standards and presented some issues with the current standards.They have then proposed some suggestions on improving the wood flooring standard system.
摘要:In the Chinese national standard for Timber Structures Testing Methods,GB/T 50329-2002,U-type supports are specifically required to measure wood deflection during bending tests.However,the standard did not present details for how to choose the materials or how to design a U-type deflection support.The authors of this article developed two U-type deflection supports with different configurations.The design details and user instructions for the supports are described.
摘要:The authors modified a conventional drying schedule for 60 mm thick Liquidambar formosana lumber to improve the drying speed.The modified schedule included three steps: pre-heating lumber under high temperature,lowing the temperature,then drying the lumber under a constant temperature.Compared with the conventional drying schedule,the modified one saves nearly 12 days when drying 60 mm thick Liquidambar formosana lumber from initial moisture content of 100% to a final 12%.The dried lumber quality was also improved.
摘要:The authors introduced the some basics for classifying wood components in historical buildings based on their appearance,characteristics and load-carrying capacity.Nondestructive testing methods,including point drilling,stress wave,and impulse tomography,were then selected accordingly to evaluate their structural performance.
摘要:Major ancient building preservation in Tibet was identified as one of the national key projects and was funded for 9 years.The technologies for decay and pest control that were used in this project are summarized and fully described.The technologies included visual inspection for wood decay,decayed wooden component restoration or replacement,wood species selection and evaluation,and wood drying and preservation.
