Acacia mangium is one of the most popular choices in the reforestation and rehabilitation of abandoned shifting cultivation areas dated back to the 70’s. This paper looks into the evaluation of mechanical strength and physical properties in structural size at green condition for Acacia mangium. The mechanical strength properties tests were referred to the modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength. Meanwhile, physical properties determination referred to basic density and moisture content. At green condition, Acacia mangium had been identified under the strength group SG6. It was found that strength value of modulus of rupture was higher than the tensile strength value with 44% stronger in bending compared to in tension. At the structural size, the mean value for moisture content and basic density at green condition were reported with 73.03% and 0.54g/cm3 respectively.

Mechanical strength is one of the key factors for clinical application of injectable carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) cement. Incorporation of polymeric additives into the mixing liquid of injectable bone cement has been known to improve cement injectability. The aim of this study is to determine whether incorporation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na CMC) into the mixing liquid would affect the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of injectable CO3Ap cement. In the present study, Na CMC, a polymeric additive and a cellulose derivative, was used to promote the injectability of CO3Ap cement. Three groups of CO3Ap cement samples consist of CaCO3 and CaHPO4 powder in each group were mixed with 0.5 %, 1%, and 2% Na CMC solution incorporated to 0.2 mol/L Na2HPO4 solution. As a control, powder mixed with 0.2 mol/L Na2HPO4 solution was used. Samples were kept in an incubator (37°C, 100% relative humidity, 24 hours). The mechanical strength properties were evaluated by diametral tensile strength (DTS). The average DTS of samples containing 0.5%, 1%, and 2% Na CMC were 3.19 MPa, 3.57 MPa, and 3.06 MPa, respectively. While the average DTS of the control group was 3.29 MPa. The groups containing Na CMC in all concentrations showed no statistical difference (p>0.05) on DTS compared to the control group. The injectability improved as the concentration of Na CMC increased. In conclusion, revealed that Na CMC does not affect the mechanical strength of CO3Ap cement. Therefore, it may be considered as an effective material to promote cement injectability. Further study of additives that can be used to promote the injectability of CO3Ap cement and enhance the mechanical strength awaits based on this initial finding.

Since there have been a big difference between wood production and industrial need, wood diversification plays an important role in handling wood deficiencies. Wood raw material diversification could developed and increased throughout the use of whole parts of the tree including branch. The current study was aimed at understanding stem and branch physical properties (basic density, air-dry specific gravity, air-dry moisture content and shrinkage) of macadamia wood as quality indicators for efficient utilization in the future. For the purpose of the study, parts of stem and branch of the tree were taken from a macadamia tree. Test specimens of stem were cut 50 cm from the ground while that of branch were selected from the largest diameter at 10 cm distance from the main stem of the tree. All samples were tested for their physical properties according to ISO standards, 1975. Results showed that the basic density, air dry specific gravity and longitudinal shrinkage of the branchwood of macadamia were higher than those of the stem. The air-dry moisture content, radial and tangential shrinkage were low on the branchwood. Keywords : Wood Physical Properties, Branchwood , Macadamia Wood

This study investigated the effects of the pressing temperature on the mechanical and physical properties of binderless bark particleboard made from Gelam bark waste and the improvement of those properties. In addition, the thermal insulation properties of the particleboard were determined. Four different temperatures (140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C, and 200 °C) were used to make single-layer binderless bark particleboard with a target density of less than or equal to 0.59 g/cm3. Results revealed that the pressing temperature affected the mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength perpendicular to panel surface), which increased as the temperature increased, and the physical properties (thickness swelling and water absorption), which decreased as the temperature increased. Based on the Tukey test, increasing the temperature from 180 to 200 °C did not significantly affect the mechanical or physical properties, except for the tensile strength perpendicular to panel surface. None of the mechanical properties met SNI standard 03-2105-2006 (2006); however, the 12% maximum thickness swelling requirement was met for binderless bark particleboard hot-pressed at 200 °C. Binderless bark particleboard hot-pressed at 200 °C had high water resistance, regardless of its low strength, and a thermal conductivity value of 0.14 W/m∙K.

As buscas por materiais renováveis de baixo impacto ambiental apontam o bambu como um material que promove o desenvolvimento sustentável devido ao seu rápido crescimento e por não precisar ser replantado após seu corte. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi determinar as seguintes propriedades físicas do bambu-mossô (Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel ex H. de Lehaie): teor de umidade, densidade básica e retratibilidade. Procurou-se investigar as diferenças entre as propriedades físicas em diferentes posições de colmos (base, meio, topo) de diferentes idades (1, 3 e 5 anos), visando a melhor utilização dessa matéria-prima. Os resultados mostraram que não houve interação significativa entre os fatores “idade” e “posição” para as propriedades teor de umidade e densidade básica, de acordo com a ANOVA em arranjo fatorial (95% de probabilidade). O teor de umidade diminuiu com o aumento da idade e da base para o topo, enquanto que a densidade básica aumentou com a idade e da base para o topo. A interação significativa entre os fatores “idade” e “posição” somente foi observada para a retratibilidade. A porção menos estável foi o topo dos bambus com cinco anos de idade, onde se encontraram maiores valores para a contração radial, tangencial e volumétrica. A porção basal na idade de três anos revelou-se a mais estável em contração volumétrica e tangencial. As porções base e topo na idade de um ano foram as mais estáveis quanto à contração radial. Palavras-chave: Phyllostachys pubescens; bambu-mossô; propriedades físicas.   Abstract Physical properties of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel ex H. de Lehaie) at different ages and culm positions. The searching for renewable material with low environment impact put bamboo forward as a material that promotes the sustainable development due to its fast growing and that is not necessary to replant after harvesting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the following physical properties at different culm positions (base, middle and top) and ages (1, 3 and 5 years old) of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescen Mazel ex H. de Lehaie): moisture content, basic density and shrinkage. The results showed that there was no significant interaction between the factors “age” and “position” for moisture content and basic density according to ANOVA in factorial arrange (95% of probability). Moisture content decreased with the increase of age and from base to top, while basic density increased with age and from base to top. Significant interaction between the factors “age” and “position” was only observed for shrinkage test according to ANOVA in factorial arrange. The portion less stable was the top of bamboo with five years old, which presented the highest radial, tangential and volumetric shrinkages. The basal portion of three years old was the most stable in volumetric and tangential shrinkage. The portions of base and top of one year old were the most stable in radial shrinkage.Keywords: Phyllostachys pubescens; moso bamboo; physical properties.

Composite panels were manufactured from kenaf particles and treated with two different alkali treatments using 2% NaOH and 2% KOH with resin contents of 8% and 10% of phenol formaldehyde (PF) at medium density of 650kg/m3. The objectives of this study were to determine the mechanical properties in terms of its modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and internal bond (IB), and physical properties namely thickness swelling (TS) and water absorption (WA) of treated kenaf board. The mechanical and physical tests were performed according to the Malaysian Standard (MS1787:2004). The minimum requirements value for MOE, MOR and IB were 2000 MPa, 14 MPa and 0.45 MPa respectively for furniture grade particleboards for use in humid conditions (PF2). According to Malaysian specifications for physical properties, the maximum requirement for thickness swell is 15%. Results indicated that both treated boards with NaOH and KOH showed an increase in strength properties compared to untreated particleboard. Particleboard treated with KOH exhibited the highest MOR and MOE values, while board with NaOH treatment gave the highest IB value. The boards with treated particles gave better performance in terms of physical properties. There were no significant differences in mechanical properties (MOR, MOE and IB) and physical properties for the different alkali treatment. The values of bending strength and IB strength increased with an increase in resin content, while TS and WA increased with a decrease in resin content. In conclusion, NaOH and KOH treated kenaf particles improved board performance and could be considered as an alternative material for particleboard production.
