Simple mixing and hot pressing methods were used to make high strength and light-weight composite from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) using PVAc as an adhesive and silica nanoparticles as a filler. The mechanical strength of the composite was examined in term of compressive strength. The simple mixing method was used to mix composition with PVAc and silica nanoparticles. Silica nanoparticles were added as filler. Hot pressing method was used to press the mixed composites at a pressing pressure of 85 MPa, pressing temperature of 150 °C, and pressing time of 20 minutes. The optimum composition in term of compressive strength for the strongest composite had a mass ratio of OPEFB/PVAc of 13 : 2 and obtained a compressive strength of 82,88 MPa. Higher compressive strength of 100,39 MPa was obtained by adding the silica nanoparticles at a mass ratio of OPEFB/PVAc/silica nanoparticles of 13 : 2 : 0,75. At pressing pressure of 100 MPa, pressing temperature of 150 °C, and pressing time of 20 minutes, we found compressive strength of 115,35 MPa. Data analysis of XRD showed that the used silica nanoparticles were in amorphous phase or had broad pattern. The compressive strength data showed that the composites were stronger than the composites made by Masturi and Kumagizuri, and also stronger than the ordinary wood-based composites. Thus, the composites are feasible to be used to replace wood-based composites, especially in furnishings.

The Difference

With the rapid development of wooden structure buildings in China, the demand for structural plywood enlarges significantly. Eucalyptus and poplar plantation is a very wide area of growth in china, therefore, there is practical significance to use eucalyptus and poplar plantation to produce wooden structural plywood. This study uses orthogonal test on pressing temperature, pressing time, pressing pressure, veneer glue spread - four factors influence the bond strength of structural plywood from Eucalyptus/poplar, and has obtained the superior technology. The results show that hot pressing temperature, pressing time, pressing pressure, veneer glue spread –four factors affect the bond strength of the structure plywood significantly, but the difference among the three veneer glue spread levels is not significantly. The better production technology is hot pressing temperature 135 °C, pressing time 24 min, pressing pressure 1.2 Mpa, veneer glue spread 320 g/m2.

To improve the way of efficient recycling of waste Tetra Pak package, save wood materials and develope new packaging materials, this article studied on the optimum hot-pressing process and surface decoration of waste Tetra Pak/sawdust composite board. Using the orthogonal experimental method, we studied the effect of that four factors, such as resin content, hot-pressing temperature, hot-pressing time and Tetra Pak/sawdust mass ratio, on MOR, MOE, TS for 2h of waste Tetra Pak/sawdust composite board. And according to the measurement and analysis of these three test indicators of the board, we obtained the optimum hot-pressing process of waste Tetra Pak/sawdust composite board. The results showed the optimization of process parameters for the board was that: resin content for 14%, hot-pressing temperature for 150°C, hot-pressing time for 420s and Tetra Pak/sawdust mass ratio for 4:6 were suitable to product this board. At this point, the maximum MOR of the board was up to 23.1MPa, the maximum MOE of the board was up to 2917MPa, the minimum TS for 2h of the board was down to 6.1%. In the processing of PVC surface decoration, by using comparison tests, the results figured out that hot-pressing temperature for 50°C-60°C, hot-pressing time for 10s-20s, hot-pressing pressure beyond 0.02MPa were good for PVC to decorate this kind of board. The formaldehyde emission of this veneer composite board was 0.3mg/L, the surface abrasion resistance of it could reach 900r, besides, its performance of surface pollution resistance has reached the national standard.

Processing Factors

Short-cut grass and starch were selected as raw materials to prepare environmentally friendly composite by hot-pressing method. Results indicated that short-cut grass and starch were easily mixed uniformly by water medium and adapt to hot-pressing process. Hot-pressing time and hot-pressing temperature influenced the performances of composites. The strength and elongation first increase and then decrease with the increase of two processing factors. Tensile strength and strength at fracture reach 2.3 MPa and 1.2 MPa respectively when hot-pressing was performed at 140 °C for 10 min. The tensile strength is always higher than strength at tensile fracture and the elongation at fracture is always higher than that at maximum force. This indicates that the fracture of composite is ductile fracture. The hardness of composite is uneven. Long hot-pressing time resulted in not too obvious decrease of hardness.

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.

Thermoplastic films exhibit good potential to be used as adhesives for the production of veneer-based composites. This work presents the first effort to develop and evaluate composites based on alder veneers and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film. The effects of hot-pressing temperature (140, 160, and 180 °C), hot-pressing pressure (0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 MPa), hot-pressing time (1, 2, 3, and 5 min), and type of adhesives on the physical and mechanical properties of alder plywood panels were investigated. The effects of these variables on the core-layer temperature during the hot pressing of multiplywood panels using various adhesives were also studied. Three types of adhesives were used: urea–formaldehyde (UF), phenol–formaldehyde (PF), and HDPE film. UF and PF adhesives were used for the comparison. The findings of this work indicate that formaldehyde-free HDPE film adhesive gave values of mechanical properties of alder plywood panels that are comparable to those obtained with traditional UF and PF adhesives, even though the adhesive dosage and pressing pressure were lower than when UF and PF adhesives were used. The obtained bonding strength values of HDPE-bonded alder plywood panels ranged from 0.74 to 2.38 MPa and met the European Standard EN 314-2 for Class 1 plywood. The optimum conditions for the bonding of HDPE plywood were 160 °C, 0.8 MPa, and 3 min.

In this paper, the new bamboo-based consolidated composite floors were fabricated with thin bamboo veneers which used as decoration layers, wear resistant layers, high density fiberboards and equilibrium layers through assembling and scuffing. The effect rules of the composite floor on properties were preliminarily studied by three factors: hot-pressing temperature, pressure and time. The results showed that the wear resistance and surface bond strength of the thin bamboo veneer consolidated composite floor significantly increased with the rise of hot-pressing temperature. In the scope of resources, the effect of hot-pressing pressure and time on properties of the floor is not significant. The optimizing technology is hot-pressing temperature 170°C, pressure 3MPa and time 40s/mm in this study. The thin bamboo veneer consolidated composite floor is an excellent floor decorative material, which has good physical and mechanical properties.
