In order to extend the application of bamboo-based products in the field of construction, this study reports on a preliminary experimental evaluation of the behavior of sheathing-to-framing connections comprised of bamboo oriented strand board (BOSB) and glued laminated bamboo (GLB) and the...

In order to determine the optimum hot-press drying process parameters and realize the value-added utilization of fast-growing wood, Chinese fir lumber(i.e., flat-sawn board)was periodic hot-press dried under different temperatures of heating platens and compression ratios. The moisture...

This paper describes the bending creep behavior of two types of bamboo-based products, bamboo-laminated veneer lumber (BLVL), and glued-laminated bamboo (GLB, also called Bamboo Glulam) at different stress levels for half a year and recovery for the same time. It was found that the stress level of...

Experiments were carried out to investigate cellulose and furfural from catalytic hydrolysis of corncob. This process improved the comprehensive utilization of hemicellulose and cellulose in biomass resources. Influence of factors (temperature, reaction time, concentration of catalysts, liquid to...

In this study, the cellulose and hemicelluloses in heartwood, sapwood, and bark of E. urophylla × E. grandis were comprehensively investigated. The ultrastructural topochemistry of carbohydrates in cell walls was examined in situ by confocal Raman microscopy. Cellulose and alkali-extractable...

This study presents the pull-out capacity of threaded steel glued into laminated bamboo under axial load. Two-component epoxy resin was used. Pull-out tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of edge distance, glue thickness, anchorage length, threaded steel rod diameter, and slenderness ratio...

Bamboo, as an important biomass raw material, has a very favorable prospect for Nature-based Solution. Here we provide a method to prepare bamboo-based lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNFs) and films with excellent impedance performances by p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) under mild condition. The...

Large span bamboo bundle laminated veneer lumbers (BLVLs) were prepared by combining the prepress densification process and the intermittent hot press process. Their mechanical performances of the intermittent hot joints and adjacent positions were also investigated. Based on this, a new type of...

Molecular imprinted nanospheres(MINs) with high selective adsorption to 10-deacetyl baccatin III(10-DAB) was prepared by 10-DAB as template molecule, and 4-vinylpyridine(4-VP) was used as functional monomer. The maximum adsorption capacity reached to 37.42 mg/g. The polymer was characterized by...

Hardwood kraft pulp contains relatively high hexenuronic acid content which increases unnecessary consumption of bleaching chemicals and has negative effects on pulp brightness stability. Hexenuronic acid can be partly removed by an enzyme treatment or a hot acid treatment. The difference between...
