The preparation and properties of wood vinegar obtained by pyrolysis of fir sawdust under different temperatures were studied. The results showed that the most important pyrolysis phase of fir sawdust was 150-250°C, which obtained the most of wood vinegar and organic compounds. Under this pyrolysis ...

The addition of maleic anhydride (MA)-modified polypropylene (MAPP) as a compatibilizer increases mechanical and physical properties of wood/plastic composites (WPCs). It is thought that MA graft ratio (Gr), molecular weight (weight-average molecular weight [Mw]), and mixing methods of MAPP affect...

The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of wood/plastic composites (WPCs) produced using wood flour (WF) prepared by wet ball-milling under various milling times (0-120 min) and drying methods (freeze- or heat drying). The drying method did not affect the particle...

This study aimed to verify technical potential of using waste from wood veneers and plywood as a raw material for the production of MDP. The variance analysis of the panels density was carried out. Physical-mechanical properties were evaluated by comparing them with the international standards and...

The pyrolysis of Chinese fir sawdust in fixed bed was investigated. The influence of pyrolysis conditions (such as pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and flow rate of nitrogen) on properties of wood vinegar was discussed. The results showed that pyrolysis temperature was the main factor that...

This paper examines the effects of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles and surface treating natural fibres (mercerization and acetylation) on different wood flour (WF)/polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite properties. WF and PP were mixed in an internal mixer (50% weight ratio) with different...

This contribution presents the effect of mineral filler on mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of wood recycled plastic composite (WrPC). WrPC was prepared using kenaf wood flour, recycled polyethylene (rPE) and maleic anhydride polyethylene (MAPE) with different types of mineral...

There is skepticism among various forest managers about the cultivation of quality wood using the QD method. They doubt whether the QD method produces wood of sufficient quality. Matters such as annual ring size and questions about its applicability as a veneer play a role in this. To build a...

In order to explore the effect of high temperature heat-treatment on the machining properties of Pinus massoniana wood, the experiment were conducted on evaluating machining performance of masson pine wood untreated and treated at different temperatures according to LY/T 2054-2012 "Method for...

The study presents theoretical aspects and modern technologies for processing wood biomass, considers the possibility of obtaining wood chips from felling residues of cutting areas, in particular technological chips that meet the GOST 15815: 1983 "Technological chips. Specifications" standard for...
