In this paper, abandoned flax fibers were adopted as reinforcing materials, polyurethane particles were adopted as matrix materials. Through blend mastication and hot-pressing methods to exploit flame-retardant fiberboards, which were made of abandoned flax fibers and polyurethanes. This paper explored the mechanical properties and flame-retardant property.Tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength were selected as mechanical properties' test index, limiting oxygen index was selected as flame-retardant property's test index. Abandoned flax fibers mass fraction, hot-pressing temperature, hot-pressing time and flame-retardant mass fraction acted as level of factor. The optimized processing conditions were concluded through orthogonal experiment and the range analysis: abandoned flax fibers mass fraction 45%, hot-pressing temperature 170°C, hot-pressing time 6 min, flame-retardant mass fraction 10%. This paper studied the solution of the abandoned fibers’ reuse. At the same time, it provided theoretical guidance for the further development of flame- retardant polyurethane fiberboard.

In order to recycle the waste peanut hull and TPU(thermoplastic urethanes), the composite made from peanut hull powder which was used as reinforcing material and TPU which was used as matrix material by the method of blending and hot pressing was discussed. The parameters of molding process were designed by orthogonal experiment. The tensile property, bending property and impact property of composite materials were tested in this study. The molding process parameters were optimized with the methods of range analysis and single factor analysis. The results showed that the optimum conditions were given as followings: concentration of peanut hull powder was 60%, hot pressing temperature was 170°C, hot pressing pressure was 12Mpa, and hot pressing time was 5min. Under above conditions, excellent mechanic properties were achieved, which were that tensile strength was 19.63MPa, bending strength was 25.74MPa, impact energy absorption was 1.33 KJ/m2.

We study experimentally the influence of mass fraction of L-20 hardener cold cure on mechanical properties of epoxy diane resin ED-20. We measure the hardness, tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength of resin at different values of the hardener mass fraction. It is found that the ratio hardener mass fraction of 1:0.9 leads to the highest values of the hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength. The impact viscosity is maximum at the ratio hardener mass fraction of 1:0.8. The optimal ratio of a non-toxic safe hardener to the resin is derived based on obtained mechanical characteristics.

In this paper, the pith of sunflowers was used to be the main raw material. Therefore, the properties of the biodegradable packaging materials were studied. The quantity of starch and density of PVA were changed under the condition of 20% content of PVA, the hot-pressing time for 15min and the pressure of 1.19Mpa. The orthogonal experiment was made under the above conditions. It got the conclusion that the thickness of the plank is 1.65 mm. Its density is 0.80 g/cm3. According to GB/T12941-2008 and GB/T 2679.7-2006, the mechanical properties of the material meet the relevant standards.

Abstract Metasequoia-based three-layer parquet flooring (MPF) was prepared under the following conditions: hot-pressing temperature of 95°C, hot-pressing time of 7 minutes, hot-pressing pressure of 9 kg·cm−2, and addition of 200 g·m−2 urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive. The results showed that the moisture content, density, formaldehyde emission, static bending strength, and elastic modulus of the three kinds of parquet flooring were not much different than poplar-based multilayer parquet flooring (PPF) or fir-based three-layer parquet flooring (FPF) on the market. The thermal conductivity of the MPF was 0.195 W·m−1·K−1, which was the lowest among the three kinds of parquet flooring. The sound absorption coefficient of MPF under 11 frequency conditions in the range of 0.2 to 2 kHz was higher than that of PPF and FPF under the same frequency condition. The research results provide a reference value for the efficient use of low-quality M. glyptostroboides wood.

Silver birch (Betula pendula) outer bark suberin can be used as a raw material to make an adhesive for particleboards (PBs). It is a promising formaldehyde-free alternative to traditional synthetic resins. However, the adhesive is acidic, which can catalyse furfural (FUR) formation from xylans in wood particles that are used for the preparation of PBs. FUR being a volatile organic compound can be emitted from the PBs and exposure to it can have harmful effects on humans. In the scope of this study, the effects on technological parameters (wet adhesive pH: 3, 6 and 9), glycerol as an additive to adhesive and hot-pressing temperature (180...230 °C) were investigated on the FUR formation in PBs. The FUR content was determined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectroscopy system from the extracts of milled PBs. Mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, bending strength, and thickness swelling) of the PBs were also studied. When using an adhesive with a pH 6 at hot-pressing temperature 230 °C with no glycerol added, it was possible to obtain PBs that satisfied the requirements of EN 312 P2 (boards for interior fitments). The FUR yield of these boards were more than 6 times lower than for the PBs pressed at 230 °C with a wet adhesive pH value 3.
