A large number of bamboo waste is produced from bamboo processing industries. Bamboo waste, with high biomass yield and rich in xylan and glucan, is a promising material for the coproduction of xylo-oligosaccharides and glucose. In this work, a formic acid-facilitated hydrothermal pretreatment of...

As a green and natural engineering material, bamboo is going to be vastly used in constructions, as well as it needs to be bonded with other materials for composite application. This study applied a resin pre-coating (RPC) method on the epoxy adhesive joint between engineered bamboo and steel...

Chinese investment in Africa is substantial and growing. The country's investment and trade in Africa's natural resource sectors have significant implications for African forests. More than 75% of African timber exports go to China - in Mozambique, for example, the share is over 90%. IIED's...

Compressed wood panels (CWP) is a biomaterial that can potentially address common issues with fast-growing wood, including low density, high perishability, and low mechanical strength. As wood density is known to significantly affect material properties, this study examines the cellular structure,...

Wood dyeing usually requires a large concentration of metal solution, which when released to the atmosphere as waste liquid, causes pollution. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF) with micron-size structure was in-situ grown on a wood surface as a template and precursor for a layered...

Using basswood wood, polycarbosilane (PCS), and nano-silicon carbide powder (particle size: 800 nm) as materials, silicon carbide wood ceramic-derived carbon electrode materials were prepared by etching silicon carbide wood ceramics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe them. The...

China-Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs Cooperation Mechanism, "17+1 Cooperation Mechanism") was set up in April 2012, promoted the economic and trade exchanges and forestry product trade between China and 17 Central and Eastern European countries. This paper first summarizes the forest ...

Bamboo culms or bamboo plywood possessing a native green surface color are highly valuable for use in interior decoration. However, the green surface color of bamboo can easily become discolored in ambient environments without any protection. In order to maintain the green surface color of ...

Bio-templating is a traditional route to fabricate porous biomorphic SiC woodceramic. However, this approach has encountered challenges, such as anisotropic structure and uncontrollable pore properties. To address these challenges, in this study, wood flour was modified by polycarbosilane (PCS)to...

(1) Background: It is of great significance to evaluate the impact of forestry subsidies on the income of forest farmers to improve policy and enhance efficiency. (2) Methods: Based on the static panel data of household tracking surveys from 2014 to 2018 in Sichuan, Liaoning, and Zhejiang provinces ...
