... Heat treatment is one effective method of improving dimensional stability and durability of wood. However, it usually decreases the bending strength of wood. Vacuum heat treatment, which is one way that does not use a thermal medium, had little influence on wood elasticity or bending strength in our previous study. But until now, few studies have reported on the changing mechanism of vacuum heatâ ...

Abstract:
... The decrease of wood supply leads to find out the alternative raw material for particleboard production derived from non-woody cellulose materials, one of the promising material is sorghum bagasse. However, the strength properties of particleboard manufactured from this biomass tend to be low. This research was to evaluate physical, mechanical and durability properties of sorghum bagasse-particleb ...
... Formaldehyde-based resin and petroleum-based plastic are often used as an adhesive in plywood manufacturing, which has an adverse effect on people's health and the global environment. We have investigated the plywoodlike composite with wood veneer (WV) and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate film (PHBF) as a novel formaldehyde-free and environmentally friendly composite (WV-PHBF). The composite was prepared wi ...
