In this paper, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycle) before and after heat treatment were used as raw materials to prepare transparent bamboo (TB). In an acidic environment, the lignin contained in the bamboo material was removed to obtain a bamboo template, and an epoxy resin similar to the cellulose refractive index was used for vacuum impregnation into the bamboo template to obtain a transparent bamboo material. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical and chemical properties of TB and original bamboo and the differences between TBs before and after heat treatment, taken from different parts of bamboo, in order to explore the performance advantages and disadvantages of TB as a new material. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR), scanning electron microscope testing (SEM), three elements analysis, light transmittance testing, and mechanical strength testing were used to study the molecular composition, microstructure, chemical composition, light transmittance, and tensile strength of the TB samples. The results showed that the lignin content of the delignified bamboo templates was greatly reduced. In addition, the SEM images showed that a large amount of epoxy resin (type E51 and type B210 curing agent) was covered on the cross-section surface and pores of the TB samples. The FTIR showed that the epoxy molecular groups appeared on the TB, and the delignified bamboo template and the resin had a good synergy effect. According to the light transmittance testing, the original bamboo samples hardly contained light transmittance under visible light. The transmittance of transparent inner bamboo (TIB) and transparent heat-treated inner bamboo (THIB) could reach about 11%, and the transmittance of transparent outer bamboo (TOB) and transparent heat-treated outer bamboo (THOB) was about 2%. The light transmittance had been significantly improved when compared with the original bamboo samples. The transmittances of the TB samples before and after heat treatment in different parts of bamboo were different. In the visible light irradiation range, the light transmittances of TB samples were as follows: TIB > THIB and THOB > TOB. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of TB was reduced, especially for TOB and THOB. In addition, TB has a wide range of raw materials, and the preparation process is environmentally friendly. It can be used for decorative materials in homes, buildings, etc., and has a great application potential.

Abstract There are strong reasons to believe that on heating a crosslinked rubber crosslinks are broken and new ones formed. This has been established by the well-known work on stress relaxation of Tobolsky and his school, and others. In the following we will discuss some experiments which give further support to these views, both of a qualitative and quantitative nature. In the first place, we carried out a few preliminary experiments on stress relaxation at elevated temperatures. This stress relaxation may be due to either or both of two effects : (a) a displacement of the crosslinks, (b) a change in the number of crosslinks per unit of volume (crosslinking density p). A measure of ρ can be obtained from the equilibrium degree of swelling at room temperature, and this gives us a means of comparing changes of ρ in a stretched sample with those occurring in the unstretched state. To this end commercial rubber strips were heated in the stretched state in the absence of oxygen at three different temperatures (80, 106, 122° C) for times varying from 2 to 72 hours. The degree of stretch, i.e., the length of the stretched rubber divided by the original length was α=1 (unstretched) in one series, and α=3 in a second series. The initial stress τ0 (for α=3) and the final stress τ at the end of the heating period were read from the stress-strain diagrams, taking into account that for the heat-treated strips there was a permanent set. In other words, τ is the stress needed to give the heat-treated sample at room temperature a length 3 times the length of the original untreated sample; the ratio τ/τ0 is therefore essentially the ratio between the moduli of elasticity. The cross-linking densities ρ0 and ρ before and after heating were derived from swelling experiments (for details see the sections on swelling).

Intermediate Storage

Specimens of three Al-Mg-Si alloys, 6060, 6005 and 6082, were solution heat treated, stored at different temperatures for different time, and artificially aged. Properties were measured before and after artificial ageing. The natural ageing response of the alloys is dependent on the storage temperature. Decreasing storage temperature leads to a delayed onset of natural ageing, but also to a higher strength after prolonged ageing, particularly for lean alloys such as 6060. The temperature and time of intermediate storage between solution heat treatment and artificial ageing has a significant effect on the strength of the artificially aged material. For the 6005 and 6082 alloys the processes that take place during natural ageing lead to a reduced strength after artificial ageing.

The Stability

Aerated concrete materials were developed with abundant natural materials. Aerated concrete can provide insulating qualities complemented with secondary structural attributes when used as core in sandwich composites for building construction. A hybrid binder that comprised lime and gypsum was used. Different foaming agents were considered for production of aerated concrete, including saponin that is found abundantly in different plants. Different formulations were considered, and the stability of the foam structure as well as the density and early-age compressive strength of the resulting aerated concrete were evaluated. One formulation comprising lime-gypsum binder with saponin foaming agent, with a density of 0.53 g/cm3, was further characterized through performance of thermal conductivity, split tension, flexure, elastic and shear modulus and sorptivity tests. The results pointed at the satisfactory balance of qualities provided by the aerated concrete when compared with alternative aerated concrete materials.

This paper reports experiments on silica coating formulations that are suitable for application as a thin pigment layer with foam coating technique on a paper web. To understand the foaming properties of nanosilica dispersions, the critical micelle concentration, foam half-life time, and foam bubble size stability were determined with three different foaming agents. The results indicate that the bubble stability measurement is a useful characterization method for foam coating purposes. Pilot foam coating trials were done and the effects of the chosen foaming agents were studied on the properties of the nanosilica-coated paper. The surface hydrophilicity of silica coated paper was related not only to silica pigment, but also to the chemical nature of the foaming agent. Standard paper properties were not affected by the thin silica coating.

Aluminium bronzes are exhibiting good corrosion resistance in saline environments combined with high mechanical properties. Their corrosion resistance is obviously confered by the alloy chemical composition, but it can also be improved by heat treatment structural changes. In the present paper, five Cu-Al-Fe-Mn bronze samples were subjected to annealing heat treatments with furnace cooling, water quenching and water quenching followed by tempering at three different temperatures: 200, 400 and 550�C. The heating temperature on annealing and quenching was 900�C. The structure of the heat treated samples was studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, the five samples were submitted to corrosion tests. The best resistance to galvanic corrosion was showed by the quenched sample, but it can be said that all samples are characterized by close values of open-circuit potentials and corrosion potentials. Concerning the susceptibility to other types of corrosion (selective leaching, pitting, crevice corrosion), the best corrosion resistant structure consists of a solid solution, g2 and k compounds, corresponding to the quenched and 550�C tempered sample.

Preparation and handling procedures for fresh-cut mango slices were developed using `Tommy Atkins', `Haden', and `Palmer' mangoes. Fruit with yellow flesh color (no green color remaining) were optimum maturity for fresh-cut in terms of maintenance of acceptable appearance, texture, and taste; riper fruit developed flesh breakdown and more browning. Postharvest life of fresh-cut mango at 5 °C was 8 to 10 d with no evidence of chilling injury and was limited by flesh browning and loss of firmness. Respiration rates ranged from 32 to 40 mg CO2/kg per hr and ethylene production was typically ≤0.1 μl·kg–1·hr–1. The SSC changed little during storage, while pH varied from 3.5 to 4.8 and TA typically declined by 30% to 40%. Peeling to a depth of at least 2 mm and trimming flesh near the stem scar was necessary to minimize browning. Imported fruit that had been heat-treated for insect quarantine showed more severe browning than Florida fruit that had not been heat-treated. Preparation in aseptic conditions and dipping fruit in a 100 ppm NaOCl solution at pH 7 before and after peeling protected against decay during storage but dipping in chlorine after slicing without removal of excess liquid resulted in flesh translucency and breakdown. Dipping in 1% CaCl2 solution had no effect on flesh firmness (Instron) or browning. Storage in an unvented plastic clamshell container, which developed an atmosphere of 2.25% CO2 plus 19% O2, did not improve shelf life, but a MA of 10% CO2 plus 10% O2 was subjectively judged to slow browning and softening and resulted in no off flavor compared to air storage.
