Due to the small thermal conductivity of wooden furniture, there is a better cooling effect in the initial contact with the human body during the summer. However, after long-term contact, heat cannot be exported, resulting in heat accumulation, which affects the thermal comfort. Phase change...

High-performance, water-resistant soy protein isolate-based adhesives have broad applications in the plywood manufacturing industry. However, they tend to be difficult to industrialize due to many hydrophilic groups in the molecular chain of soy protein. This paper proposes a facile, economic, and...

Wood density is a key indicator for tree functionality and end utilization. Appropriate chemometric methods play an important role in the successful prediction of wood density by visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy. The objective of this study was to select appropriate pre-processing,...

Formaldehyde (FA) is a common toxic pollutant in air and water, which is harmful to human's health. Although the fluorescent probes based on carbon dots (CDs) for FA detection have been reported, most of them only work under UV excitation conditions. It is a challenge to develop a CDs probe which...

Thermochemical process of biomass is one of the promising renewable energy technologies; however, the by-product (wood vinegar wastewater) is rich in refractory organics, which is harmful to the environment and inhibits the conversion efficiency of microorganisms. Consequently, the dominant...

Alkali and alkali earth metals (AAEM) can be removed from lignocellulosic biomass via a new demineralization process constituting hydrothermal treatment. The dissolution mechanism of AAEM in different demineralization processes has not been extensively studied. This study employed calcium as a...

In order to improve the stability of biomass-based carbon aerogels, lignin(L) was modified with phosphoric acid to obtain phosphinized lignin(PL). Then, a stable covalent bond was formed with bacterial cellulose(BC) to prepare biomass-based carbon aerogels, namely bacterial cellulose/phosphinized...

Human health and environmental protection demand wood-based panel industry for innovative soy-based adhesives with high production efficiency, straightforward synthesis processes, non-toxicity, and high bonding performance. A simple and efficient microwave pretreatment process and low addition of...

This paper proposed a methodology for monitoring the rolling shear (RS) failure of cross-laminated timber (CLT) via acoustic emission (AE) technique combined with digital image correlation (DIC) method. The RS strength of 3-layer CLT with different transverse layers (SPF dimension lumber, Douglas...

Juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthalene diketone) is a kind of natural naphthoquinone, present in the roots, leaves, nut-hulls, bark and wood of walnut trees. Recent studies have found that Juglone has special significance in the treatment of cancer, which plays a significant role in the resistance of...
