the effect of the filler content and the different type of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polyethylene- date palm wood flour (dpwf) composite which are gathered from date palm tree annual pruning was studied. the different types of dpwf were stem, leaf and the mixture of stem and leaf. composites were made at 45, 60 and 75 % by weight filler contents. the particle size was 25-40 mes...

In this study, the effect of wollastonite on mechanical, physical, and morphological properties composites made sesame stem (Sesamum indicum L.) gypsum was investigated. The mixing ratio as a lignocellulosic material with at three levels (10:90, 20:80, 30:70) (0%, 5%, 10%, based dry weight cement) were considered variables. Fire resistance (weight loss) tested according to ISO 11925-3 DIN EN 63...

Timber buildings are experiencing a rapid diffusion due to their good performance and sustainability; however, some steps of structural timber production process, such as drying, energy-intensive environmentally impactful, many wood species also affected by low yield. Therefore, it would be important determine the quality green material, that is, in wet condition, before undergoing most impactf...

Abstract Soy flour can be substituted in polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) resin for bonding plywood. Resin bleed-through is avoided by prepressing at 95°C. The boards have greater wet and dry strength than do those prepared from melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin. also emulsion polymer isocyanates cold-press applications. soy increases but keeps the unchanged. optimal level of ...
