“…Wood drying is an inevitable part of wood processing which increases wood's physical properties, mechanical properties and dimensional stability and coating properties [1][2][3][4]. Wood material after drying is more suitable for wood-based panels [5], solid wood furniture [6], construction [7], etc. Researchers have been working to optimize wood drying to remove moisture from the wood in a relatively economical way while reducing damage.…”

Wood drying stress causes various drying defects, which result from the wood microstructure and the transfer of heat and mass during the drying. It is the fundamental way to solve the problem of defects to clarify the law and mechanism of wood stress and strain development during drying. In this paper, based on the defects of wood drying, the theory and experimental testing methods of drying stress and strain were summarized. Meanwhile, artificial neural networks (ANN) and their application in the wood drying field were also investigated. The traditional prong and slicing methods were used practically in the research and industry of wood drying, but the stress changes in-process cannot be trapped. The technologies of image analysis and near-infrared spectroscopy provide a new opportunity for the detection of drying stress and strain. Hence, future interest should be attached to the combination of the theory of heat and mass transfer and their coupling during drying with the theory of microscopic cell wall mechanics and macroscopic drying. A more complete image acquisition and analysis system should be developed to realize the real-time monitoring of drying strain and cracking, practically. A more feasible and reasonable prediction model of wood drying stress and strain should be established to achieve the accuracy of the prediction.

“…When the temperature and humidity and other environmental conditions are appropriate, these microorganisms will attach to the wood for a large number of growth and reproduction, resulting in wood decay, discoloration, and moldy, which influence the strength, toughness, and permeability of wood [ 6 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. It also poses a threat to the life and health of the users [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Therefore, antibacterial treatment of wood is needed to maintain the properties of wood and prevent the spread of disease [ 39 ].…”

The silver particles were grown in situ on the surface of wood by the silver mirror method and modified with stearic acid to acquire a surface with superhydrophobic and antibacterial properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray energy spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the reaction mechanism of the modification process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle tests were used to characterize the wettability and surface morphology. A coating with a micro rough structure was successfully constructed by the modification of stearic acid, which imparted superhydrophobicity and antibacterial activity to poplar wood. The stability tests were performed to discuss the stability of its hydrophobic performance. The results showed that it has good mechanical properties, acid and alkali resistance, and UV stability. The durability tests demonstrated that the coating has the function of water resistance and fouling resistance and can maintain the stability of its hydrophobic properties under different temperatures of heat treatment.

“…Gold is an important material from ancient times and has been found as a decorative material in tombs from the Shang Dynasty (1600BC–1046BC) [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Gold is widely used in various decorations, such as Chinese classical furniture [ 4 , 5 ], due to its brilliant color, dazzling luster, and excellent chemical properties. Gold leaf gilding, which is the art of decorating the whole or parts of wood, metal, plaster, glass, or other objects with gold in either leaf or powder form [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], is an important gold decoration process.…”

Gold leaf samples of different purities were corroded in a SO2 atmosphere at three different relative humidities (30%, 60%, 90%) at ambient temperature, and the effects on color, gloss, and morphology were studied. Results showed that a corrosion rate of 0.0898 g/cm2 could be attained after 6 weeks at high humidity. Color changes also occurred during the gold leaf corrosion process, and many thin pits formed on the surfaces, as shown by SEM. EDX results showed that these pits contained C, O, and S compounds. By comparing the results of different gold purity samples and different relative humidity conditions, it could be concluded that both gold content and humidity play an important role in SO2 atmosphere corrosion. These conclusions are helpful for the conservation of gold leaf decorative cultural relics.
