One of the main problems of wood as filler in the production of composite materials based on mineral binder is "cement poisons". Article presents the results of research of the processes of "cement poisons" removal from wood raw material for the production of cement-bonded particleboards. In the research process the treatment of wood raw material was carried out in two ways: by boiling of the crushed wood and by ultrasonic treatment in water. It has been found that ultrasonic treatment significantly intensifies and increases the extraction of water-soluble sugars and, thus, causes an increase of the strength characteristics of cement-bonded particleboards. The conducted research shows the possibility of improvement of the technology of production of cement-bonded particleboards with the aim of improving their performance without significant capital investment.
The article presents the wood composite materials based on biodegradable component of polyvinyl acetate with the filler in a form of wood flour of pine trees of two types: unmodified and thermally modified pine. The sorption properties of composite of both species, namely the ability of a material to absorb moisture depending on the quantity and nature of wood filler were studied. The strength characteristics of composite materials with non-modified and modified wood fillers were investigated and revealed. The research of the loss of relative weight of both types of composite materials while standing in soil was conducted.The expediency of preliminary heat treatment of wood filler on politely if necessary some increase in biostability of the composite is found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
