Phase change materials (PCM) can store heat energy through the process of phase change and keep the ambient temperature in a comfortable range, thus reaching the aim of energy conservation and emission reduction. To improve the latent heat capacity, activated carbon (AC) with a dendritic pore...

While wood substances that contain water have shown a dielectric effect, they have never been directly proposed as a microwave absorption material to reduce artificial electromagnetic pollution. In this study, the microwave absorption efficiency of wood that contains water was investigated based on ...

This study used silica sol, phenol, formaldehyde, etc. as raw materials to prepare silica sol/phenolic resin based on in-situ polymerization. The influence of silica sol content on the viscosity, solid content, and other properties of the composite resin were discussed. The structure and...

The pretreatments of sealing method, water storage method and ring cutting method were adopted for the felled Eucalyptus robusta to release the residual stress of log, improve the lumber recovery and quality. The sawn timber was inspected and measured, and the effects of 3 kinds of saw cutting...

The fracture behaviors of four wood species commonly used in wood products were characterized when subjected to compact tension (CT) load in radial-longitudinal (RL) system crack propagation. Meanwhile, the failure modes of evaluated CT samples were compared and analyzed using the fractal dimension ...

The flame retardancy of plywood should be improved as much as possible while minimizing the impact on the bonding strength of plywood. Six commercial flame retardants and three laboratory synthesized phosphorous nitrogen flame retardants were selected. E0, E1 and E2 grade commercial formaldehyde...

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 present work, an efficient flame retardant (the ammonium salt of tetrakis(phosphonomethyl)arginine, ATTPMA) was synthesized without organic solvents. Then it was grafted onto bamboo fabric through P-O-C covalent bonds. Thus, the durable flame-retarding bamboo fabric was fabricated...

Paper is an ideal substrate for manufacturing flexible electrodes because of its lightweight, inherent mechanical flexibility, and unique structure. However, the traditional bottom-up method of manufacturing paper-based electrode is time-consuming and the active material is easy to fall off. Here,...

The color, texture, and natural defects of wood are important factors affecting its commercial value. Change of wood's surface color is a primary way to improve its value. This study analyzes and summarizes the development status and existing problems of the traditional wood dyeing process and...
