“…Firstly, most wooden door enterprises rely on the personal experience of designers and past production experience for product design. Today, in the face of the new retail market, multi-channel information, and a more segmented market demand make it difficult for management and designers to rely on experience to accurately capture the changes in the market (Xiong et al 2023). Secondly, most previous studies on the consumer characteristics of wooden door users have presented their arguments by reviewing past literature or summarising social phenomena and are consequently highly subjective in terms of the factors that influence users' willingness to use them.…”

This paper analyses users with different lifestyles and consumer behaviour, and then segments wooden door users with different consumer preferences, to inspire wooden door companies in their product design and further research on wooden doors. In this paper, a wooden door user research questionnaire was created based on Lifestyle Theory and Consumer Behaviour Theory, and data collection was completed at Nanjing Forestry University. The collected data were analysed using cluster analysis, factor analysis, cross-over analysis, and other analysis methods. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to simplify the analysis model and process the data, and finally the wooden door users were divided into four categories. The categories were trendy home users, budget-conscious sensible users, basic needs users, and impulsive enjoyable users. Male users were found to be more likely to be “trendy home users” and “impulsive enjoyable users,” while female users were more likely to be “budget-conscious sensible users” and “trendy home users.” For the number of users, the “trendy home users” were the most numerous, followed by the “budget-conscious sensible users.” The age of wooden door users in this study was mainly distributed between 21 to 30 years old, of which “freelancers” accounted for the highest percentage.

With the lifestyle change, users’ demand for furniture has shown a trend for personalization and diversification. The customized furniture market is growing rapidly and gradually becoming an indispensable choice for lifestyle items. The present qualitative study sought to identify the influencing factors and relationships of user demand for customized furniture. This study constructed a 4E semi-structured interview guide, which means that interviews were conducted from 4 dimensions: essential information, information extraction, user experience, and product expectation. The interview results were coded and analyzed in combination with grounded theory. Based on the identified 38 concepts and 10 categories, we obtain 4 main categories: fundamental condition, operation behaviour, sensory value and emotional value. For the factors that affect the demand of customized furniture users, customized furniture enterprises can start from 2 levels of publicity and product design to meet user demand and improve the user purchase probability.

“…Dehumidification techniques, such as condensation, 6 solution, 7 solid, 8 and membrane dehumidification, 9 play an important role in this regard. Condensation dehumidification is a process that utilizes the phase transition of substances to reduce the saturation of air containing water vapor by cooling it, resulting in the condensation of water vapor into liquid water 10 . Condensation dehumidification technology has a number of advantages, but it also has several very clear drawbacks.…”

Suitable air humidity is of great importance for human health, crop growth and the life of buildings. In this work, the polyvinylidene fluoride/calcium chloride (PVDF/CaCl2) porous membranes with rich pore structures for adsorption of high‐humidity gases were prepared using solvent evaporation‐induced phase separation. The results showed that the gap between the PVDF spherical crystals increased with the increase of CaCl2 content, which increased the porosity of the membrane. When the CaCl2 content reached 20 wt.%, the water vapor adsorption capacity of the PVDF/CaCl2 porous membrane was 0.876 and the initial adsorption rate was 0.050 g·g−1·min−1. At this point, the moisture vapor permeance of the membrane was the best at 0.04 g·m−2·h−1·Pa−1, and the dry strength of the PVDF/CaCl2 membrane was 0.397 MPa, which was 1.64 times that of the membrane without CaCl2. This work provides theoretical and technical guidance for the preparation of air dehumidification materials.Highlights The porosity of the membranes increased with increasing of calcium chloride content. The moisture vapor permeance of the M‐20 membrane was the best at 0.04 g·m−2·h−1·Pa−1. The dry strength of the M‐20 membrane was 1.64 times that of the M‐0 membrane.
