摘要:Water resistance and mechanical properties of crushed bamboo-mat composites,made from bamboo(Dendrocalamus farinosus and Phyllostachys heterocycla) mats with different node locations were studied.The results showed that the composite samples with nodes assembled in the middle portion had better water resistance and horizontal shear strength,while composite samples without nodes showed higher properties in modulus of rupture,tensile strength and compression strength.It is suggested that nodes should not be overlapped for making crushed bamboo-mat composites.
摘要:Foaming specimens made from liquefied-bamboo resin were exposed to soil,heat,and light conditions,respectively,to evaluate their durability.The material mass loss and compressive strength before and after those conditions were tested.Results showed that the foaming material was easily degraded through soil exposure.The heat treated specimens had higher compression strength.There were some losses of weight and compressive strength after the light exposure.It was proposed that after a surface treatment,this foaming material could be used as exterior wall thermal insulation material for exterior wall building.
摘要:Bamboo plywood was produced under different hot pressing parameters and mat moisture contents,and their properties were evaluated.The results showed that the hot pressing process,with cooling at the end of the pressing cycle,had significant influence on board surface flatness.Mat moisture content also had great effect on board thickness swelling,bending stiffness,boiled internal bonding strength,and panel flatness.The results showed that the optimal mat moisture content was around 15%.
摘要:For accurate evaluation of formaldehyde emission from wood-based panels,wood products,and wood furniture,a large climate chamber simulated a living environment with a volume of 30 m3 was developed.The principle theory and structural design of the climate chamber were presented.The test results showed that the accuracy for temperature and relative humidity reached the requirements of the current foreign standards EN 717-1:2004 and ASTM E 1333-96.
摘要:To determine the volatile organic compound(VOC) emissions from wood fiber drying and its effect on air quality,contents and concentration of total volatile organic compounds(TVOC),aldehyde,and ketone,discharged from a fiberboard manufacturer,were analyzed.The results showed that the concentration of TVOC,including alkane,benzenes,ester,ether,etc,was about 0.1455 mg/m3.The concentration of aldehyde and ketone was 5.0917 mg/m3.The concentrations of those compounds emitted from the fiber dryer met the requirement by Integrated Emission Standard DB 11/501-2007 for Air Pollutants.
摘要:In order to evaluate the performance of agglomerated cork boards for indoor sound barriers,the sound absorption coefficients of the panels laminated,with different agglomerated cork boards,were measured by the standing wave tube method.The results showed that the sound absorption coefficient of the samples increased with increased thickness or decreased density.
摘要:The authors summarized the background,principles,processes,and significances of hydrophobic wood modification such as immersion treatment,acetylation,sol-gel process,graft copolymerization and plasma treatments.They also presented the status of hydrophobic research on wood surfaces and provided some suggestions for future research using modifying agents,treating technologies,and evaluation methods.
摘要:Great progress has been achieved for Guangxi’s wood product industry in recent years.However,failure to use high technology and small production scale has limited Guangxi from being the top wood product producer.This article reviews the status of Guangxi’s wood processing industry and analyzes its strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats.Finally,strategies for a prosperous development for Guangxi’s wood processing industry are proposed.
摘要:The authors summarize the current status for energy conservation in China’s veneer drying process,analyze existing problems,and then provide useful information and suggestions to plywood manufacturing companies to improve their energy efficiency.
摘要:Thickness swelling(TS) due to water absorption is an important quality index of wood-based panel products.According to Chinese National Standard GB/T 17657-1999,TS is tested by immersing samples in(20±2)℃ water after being equilibrated at(20±2) ℃ and(65±5)% RH.The author conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of soaking time,water temperature,and the temperature and humidity of conditioning treatments on TS performance of particleboard(PB) and medium density fiberboard(MDF) samples.It was found that TS values of both PB and MDF samples increased with increasing water temperature,soaking time,and conditioning temperature and humidity.
摘要:Although the furniture industry has been growing rapidly in China,it has encountered a lot of technical barriers in recent years.Improving the national standards and participating in the international standards development are important ways to avoid technical trade barriers.This article reviews the Chinese national standards and analyzes the differences between the Chinese and international standards.It also proposes suggestions for the further improvement of the Chinese furniture standard system.
摘要:A brush sander is commonly used for sanding furniture components with complicated forms and shapes.In order to optimize the sanding process,roughness of red oak,cherry wood and Pinus sylvestris were evaluated after sanding with a brush sander using different belts lengths and contact depths.The results showed that belt length and contact depth had a great effect on the surface roughness.In general,a 100 mm long brush sander and a 1520 mm contact depth produced the best surface quality.
摘要:Steam-heated hot-presses for wood-based panel are being replaced by oil-heated presses due to their high thermal capacity and uniform temperature distribution.A split-cascade control system was designed to improve the temperature control for the oil-heated presses.The design process,control principle,and characteristic of the control system were fully explained.
