A polyethylene/wood-fiber composite loaded with nano-ZnO was prepared by a facile hot-press method and was used for the photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds as well as for microwave absorption. ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of 29 nm and polyethylene (PE) powders were dispersed on the wood fibers' surface through a viscous cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) solution. The reflecti...

Physical, mechanical, and morphological properties of a clay dispersed styrene-co-glycidal methacrylate (ST-co-GMA) impregnated wood polymer nanocomposite (WPNC) were evaluated. The WPNC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3-point bending, free-vibration testing, and Xray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The FT-IR results showe...

The establishment of forest plantations in boreal zones Mongolia is important for wood production as well carbon dioxide fixation. present study aims to elucidate the juvenile properties (basic density, modulus elasticity [MOE], rupture [MOR], and compressive strength parallel grain) plantation-grown Pinus sylvestris promote plantations. In addition, effect radial growth rate on was also evalua...

Urea-formaldehyde is one of the commonly used resin types in particleboard industry. In this study, effect nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) addition formulation urea formaldehyde on physical, mechanical, morphological properties samples was investigated. The NFC (0.5% 1%) TiO2 (0.5%, 1%, 2%) were added to 10% adhesive formulation. Two different pressure times, 4 8 min...

Estimates of the reliability of wood plastic composites (WPC) are explored for two industrial extrusion lines. The goal of the paper is to use parametric and non-parametric analyses to examine potential differences in the WPC metrics of reliability for the two extrusion lines that may be helpful for use by the practitioner. A parametric analysis of the extrusion lines reveals some similarities ...

This study deals with the fabrication of composite matrix from saw dust (SD) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at different ratio (w/w) by flat-pressed method. The wood plastic composites (WPCs) were made with a thickness of 6 mm after mixing the saw dust and PET in a rotary type blender followed by flat press process. Physical i.e., density, moisture content (MC), water absorption ...

Significant effects of organoclay and poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde)-methylated (PMFM) impregnation on the mechanical, morphological, thermal characteristics raw pulai wood were investigated in this work. The material’s modulus elasticity (MOE) as well maximum compression force (MCF) impregnated organoclay/PMFM samples optimized using a designed experiment. MOE MCF models had R2 values 0.9228 0...

introduction: resin composites are an important part of restorative treatment in modern dentistry. there are many trademarks available in iran market and physico-chemical properties of many of these resin composites are not evaluated yet. this study was carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of four available resin composites and also to assess the effect of aging on their prop...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

This research was to evaluate a technical feasibility of making single-layer experimental particleboard panels from bamboo waste (Dendrocalamus asper Backer) by converting bamboo into strips, which are used to make laminated bamboo furniture. Variable factors were density (600, 700 and 800 kg/m) and temperature of condition (25, 40 and 55 C). The experimental panels were tested for their physic...
