“…Wood plastic composite (WPC), composed of thermoplastic matrix, wood flour, and other additives, combines the best properties of each neat component and consequently exhibits outstanding performances . In recent years, wood plastic composite with an ever increasing market potential has become a popular material in a wide variety of applications due to its high stiffness, low density, biodegradability, renewability, and relatively low cost . Because wood flour is a common filler for WPC, the forest resource has been seriously destroyed due to wood demands for manufacturing, building, and land usage for agriculture .…”

Waste artificial marble powder (AMP), an industrial waste generated from artificial marble processing, was recycled and incorporated in high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-wood composites. The results showed that waste AMP was mainly made up of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 ) and unsaturated polyester. Incorporating waste AMP into HDPE-wood composites could increase the flexural strength and flexural modulus of composites but obviously decrease the notched impact strength. However, with the addition of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE), the mechanical properties of AMP/HDPE-wood composites increased greatly. With 60 phr (parts per hundreds of resin) waste AMP, the notched impact strength and tensile strength of composites reached to 5.03 kJ/m 2 and 28.0 MPa, respectively, increased by 98.1% and 55.6% compared to the composites without MAPE. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs revealed that MAPE improved the interfacial adhesion between fillers and HDPE matrix. In addition, the incorporation of waste AMP increased the heat resistance, limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of composites and decreased the horizontal burning rate. This study provides a new method for resource utilization of waste AMP, which could improve the performances of composites and avoid environmental pollution. POLYM. COMPOS.,

“…On the other hand, bamboo may also be attacked and destroyed by biodegradation factors [6]. There are several existing procedures to reduce bamboo's moisture absorption, and improve the durability; but in several cases, chemical treatments were used [7][8][9][10], which may make the treated bamboo material less environmental friendly [11,12] and more expensive [5].…”

A Bamboo Treatment Procedure: Effects on the Durability and Mechanical Performance

Bamboo is a natural material having a fast reproduction and high mechanical strengths. However, when a bio-based material in general, and bamboo in particular are expected to be a construction material, their sensitivity to moisture and their durability are usually questionable. Indeed, it is well known that these materials do not possess the same performance in the long-term, when compared to industrial materials. Sustainable solutions for the bamboo treatment still need to be investigated. The present study explores the oil-heated treatment with different types of oils, like flax or sunflower oils. The present investigation concentrates on mechanical properties and durability of treated bamboos to assess the effectiveness of these kinds of treatment. First, bamboo specimens were treated to decrease their sensitivity to moisture and improve their durability. Different conditions of treatment were tested: treatment at 100 • C or 180 • C; with flax oil, sunflower oil, or without oil; treatment durations of 1 h, 2 h, or 3 h; and, different cooling methods and cooling durations. Then, mechanical and durability tests were carried out on untreated and treated bamboos: uniaxial compression tests, 3 points bending tests, water immersion tests, and humidity tests. The results showed that some tested treatment methods could increase both the durability and the compressive strength of treated specimens, compared to untreated bamboo. The best results were observed on specimens treated at 180 • C during 1 h or 2 h without oil, and then cooled in 20 • C sunflower oil.

“…The other point of Indonesia bamboos are easy to cultivate, and no need special treatment [1,3,4]. Therefore, Indonesians have long utilized bamboo for construction of house building [5], furniture [6,7], agricultural tools, flooring [8], handicrafts [9], musical instruments, pulp [10] and food [1].…”

The ultra-hydrophobic surface on Indonesia bamboo timber has been successfully prepared using OFP (2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol) as a modifier agent. The hydrothermal method has been used to fabricate anatase TiO 2 film followed by OFP modification. Maximal water contact angle of 123 ο has been obtained for the composition of 10 mL of OFP and 15 mL of 2-propanol (B-T-OFP10). XRD analysis showed the existence of pure anatase TiO 2 film on bamboo timber, confirmed by EDS result. SEM image of a TiO 2coated and a typical ultra-hydrophobic bamboo timber revealed irregular aggregates of spherical TiO 2 on the surface and compact ultra-hydrophobic surface, respectively. The optimum sample (B-T-OFP10) showed excellent mechanical stability, self-cleaning property, and flame retardancy compared to pure bamboo timber.
