Effects of Hydrothermal Environment on the Deformation of the Thin Bamboo Bundle Veneer Laminated Composites

To overcome warping in thin bamboo bundle veneer laminated composites(TBLC),their hydrothermal deformation characteristics were systematically investigated in this study.It was found that TBLCs accelerated the release of internal stress in the thickness direction in a hydrothermal environment,which increased their warpage.TBLCs showed increased warpage in the width and diagonal directions upon increasing the temperature.The warpage of Type E increased by 155.88%and 66.67%in the width and diagonal directions,respectively,when the temperature increased from 25
C to 100
C.The symmetrical TBLC with cross-lay-up and odd layers displayed better hydrothermal stability.We revealed that the deformation of the TBLCs could be regulated under the synergistic effect of water and temperature.These results provide a scientific basis for improving the uniformity of bamboo bundle composite materials and for developing thin bamboo bundle fiber composite materials with designable structures and controllable performance.

Productive test of a newly drying technology of veneer： intermittent-contact drying of veneer with flexible screen belt

A newly drying technology, intermittent-contact drying of veneer with flexible screen belt (ICD-fbs), was invented and used in poplar veneer drying. Productive test was carried out for validating the practical use of this drying method. The test result shows that to dispose flexible screen belts on the two sides of hot board could help steam discharge remarkably. The veneer dried using ICD-fsb method had smooth and level surface, less deformation and warping, even moisture content, and high utilization rate. The time for opening hot board to discharge steam,which, early or late, is a key to obtain good drying result, was determined at the time when the core's temperature of veneer reaches 100℃ (vaporization). Using ICD-fsb method, the shrinking rates in tangent of veneer were from 1.90% to 2.26% for veneer of 0.4 mm in thickness,2.49% to 4.50% for veneer of 1 mm in thickness and 1.34% to 3.30% for veneer of 1.7 mm in thickness, which are much lower than the results obtained by other drying methods. The method of ICD-fsb offers a reliable technological guarantee for solving the deformation problem of veneer drying, especially the deformation of wood from quick-growing plantation.

Surface characteristics of electroless nickel plated electromagnetic shielding wood veneer

Wood is a kind of porous natural material with very poor electro-conductivity, and it has almost no function of electromagnetic shielding. The method of electroless nickel plating was used to produce wooden material with electrical and effective electromagnetic shielding properties. Ni-P alloy layer was obtained on wood surface. The surface feature of plated wood veneer was observed by SEM and the surface composition and microstructure of the layer under different conditions were investigated by EDS and XRD respectively. Meanwhile, the relevant surface resistivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness were measured. Correlations of the phosphorous content in the layer to the structure of Ni-P alloy, electro-conductivity and electromagnetic shielding of plated veneers were discussed. SEM photos showed that the surface of electroless nickel plated veneers were covered with Ni-P alloy layer entirely, which made wood veneers more like metal. At the same time, the results showed that with the decreasing of the phosphorous content in the layer, the microstructure of Ni-P alloy layer transformed to be microcrystalline and electro-conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness were improved. When the phosphorous content was less than 2.37wt pct in the layer, the microstructure of Ni-P alloy layer was microcrystalline structure and its sur- face resistivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness were nearly 0.5Ω/□ and 55-60dB respectively.

Yield and mechanical properties of veneer from Brachystegia nigerica

In an effort to find suitable wood from natural forest to meet the demand for veneer products, the yield and tensile strength of veneers produced from Brachystegia nigerica were investigated. Two trees of B. nigerica were separately selected from 10 different natural forest zones while two logs were obtained from each tree. The logs were debarked and steamed in a vat prior to rotary peeling and slicing for veneer production. The optimum steam temperature was determined by considering different temperatures： 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃ and 90℃ for 24 h. Thereafter, optimum steam time was determined at the optimum temperature by considering durations of 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The average taper of 0.75 mm per 1.0 m length was recorded for B. nigerica, indicating that the logs were reasonably cylindrical; thereby its logs are good for the production of veneer. The yield ranged from 44% to 61% with an average of 52% of the log input. The tensile strength of the veneer was tested perpendicular to grain and both peeled and sliced veneers had the highest tensile strength between 70℃ and 90℃, suggesting that softening of wood polymers, especially lignin, is between 70℃ and 90℃. The optimum temperature and time for veneer production are 70℃ and 48 h, respectively. Commercial production of veneer from B. nigerica is feasible based on the yield and mechanical properties of the obtained veneer, thereby encouraging the expansion of the scope of its utilization.

Equilibrium thallium isotope fractionation and its constraint on Earth’s late veneer

Equilibrium isotope fractionation of thallium(Tl) includes the traditional mass-dependent isotope fractionation effect and the nuclear volume effect(NVE). The NVE dominates the overall isotope fractionation, especially at high temperatures. Heavy Tl isotopes tend to be enriched in oxidized Tl^3+-bearing species. Our NVE fractionation results of oxidizing Tl^+ to Tl^3+ can explain the positive enrichments observed in ferromanganese sediments. Experimental results indicate that there could be0.2–0.3 e-unit fractionation between sulfides and silicates at 1650 ℃. It is consistent with our calculation results,which are in the range of 0.17–0.38 e-unit. Importantly,Tl’s concentration in the bulk silicate Earth(BSE) can be used to constrain the amount of materials delivered to Earth during the late veneer accretion stage. Because the Tl concentration in BSE is very low and its Tl isotope composition is similar with that of chondrites, suggesting either no Tl isotope fractionation occurred during numerous evaporation events, or the Tl in current BSE was totally delivered by late veneer. If it is the latter, the Tl-contentbased estimation could challenge the magnitude of late veneer which had been constrained by the amount of highly siderophile elements in BSE. Our results show that the lateaccreted mass is at least five-times larger than the previously suggested magnitude, i.e., 0.5 wt% of current Earth’s mass. The slightly lighter 205 Tl composition of BSE relative to chondrites is probable a sign of occurrence of Tlbearing sulfides, which probably were removed from the mantle in the last accretion stage of the Earth.

Late veneer and the origins of volatiles of Earth

Late veneer is an important paradigm in early Earth and planetary studies.It refers to the late addition of extraterrestrial materials to the Earth’s mantle after the core formation,which leads to the overabundances of highly siderophile elements in the primitive upper mantle.In this review,the origin,evolution,and expansion of the late veneer hypothesis are summarized,including some unresolved problems.I hope this review would be helpful for the new entrants to this field.

Effect of the Thickess on Color of Porcelain Laminate Veneer

Objective : To evaluate the color change of the two-layer porcelain laminate veneer after adding veneering porcelain of different thickness to the 0. 2 mm thick aluminum oxide. Methods : Ten aluminum oxide disks were randomized into 2 groups. Each of five disks was veneered with Vita Lumin Shade 54 porcelain of thickness 0/0.4 mm and 0. 6 mm respectively. The L'a'b* color notations of the substrate covered with nan-veneered disks and 2 thickness porcelain veneered disks were measured separately and the color differences (AE) were calculated. Results ?Statistically significant differences in color coordinates of dark substrates were recorded after the substrate was covered by an aluminum oxide disk and also after the addition of veneering porcelain to the aluminum oxide disks in group 1 (P=0. 000 2) and group 2(P=0. 007 5) and between 2 groups (P=0. 000 1). Conclusion -The ability of masking underlying discoloration was increased and shifted to gray when the thickness of veneering porcelain increased.

Shear bond strengths between alumina-toughened zirconia cores and veneering ceramics and their susceptibility to aging

Objective:To evaluate the shear bond strength(SBS) between alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) cores and veneering ceramics,investigate the effect of aging in artificial saliva on SBS and compare it with that of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals(Y-TZP).Methods:Bars of ATZ and Y-TZP were layered with veneering ceramics in accordance to the recommendation of the manufacturer.Half of each group(n = 10) was aged at 134℃.(under 2 bar pressure) in an autoclave for 48 h.Subsequently,all specimens were subjected to shear force in a universal testing machine.The interface and fractured surface of the specimens were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy.Results:The initial mean SBS values in MPa±SD were 28.9±8.0 for ATZ and 26.2±7.6 for Y-TZP.After aging,the mean SBS values for ATZ and Y-TZP were 22.9±4.9 MPa and 22.8±6.9 MPa,respectively.Neither the differences between the SBS values of the ATZ and Y-TZP groups nor the influence of aging on all groups were statistically significant.Conclusions:The SBS between the ATZ core and the veneering ceramics was not affected by aging.The SBS of ATZ to veneering ceramics was not significantly different compared with that of Y-TZP.

Experimental Study on Inert Gas-assisted Laser Cut Veneer Based on LOM

Based on the LOM(Laminated Object Manufacturing)process,an inert gas-assisted laser method for wood cutting was proposed.The carbonization degree of wood surface was improved by the introduction of helium(He)gas,and the influence of process parameters on the carbonization layer of wood surface was solved,it was significance to reduce the post-processing of LOM and improve the quality of forming workpiece.The cherry wood veneer was used as the experimental material,under the condition of the same process parameters,the wood was cut with or without inert gas-assisted,and the influence factors of kerf quality were studied by variance analysis.The results showed that under the same condition,compared with traditional laser processing,the kerf width was obviously reduced in the inert gas-assisted cutting.Because the He gas had oxygen-isolation and flame retardant effect,which prevented heat accumulation and conduction.The micro morphology of the kerf surface showed that the flatness was better in the inert gas-assisted cutting.As the excess heat was blown out by the cooling and purging of the gas,the phenomenon of oxidation and burning was reduced,the range of HAZ(heat affected zone)was reduced,and the carbonization phenomenon was obviously improved.The surface quality of kerf was improved effectively.According to the analysis of variance,in addition to the effect of laser power,cutting speed and inert gas flow on the cutting width,the interaction between inert gas flow and laser power,laser power and cutting speed were also the main factors which affected the cutting width.The feasibility of the combined inert gas and laser processing to improve wood cutting quality has been verified through experimental research,which provided a certain reference for the followup research on improving the wood processing quality.

Discoloration and color’s reversion of Scot pine veneers by resin-eliminated treatment

The discoloration of Scot pine （Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica） veneers caused by resin-eliminated treatment and the reversion of the color were studied. The result showed that the color of the veneers changed from buff to yellowish brown after the treatment of resin elimination and the discoloration of heartwood was more severe than that of sapwood; the degree of discoloration was significantly positively correlated with the medicament strength, temperature and resin-eliminated duration. The variance analysis showed the effects of those three factors on the discoloration were significant. With hydrogen peroxide （H2O2） as color reversion medicament and inorganic compound as medium of the reaction, the reversion of the color of heartwood was more inaccessible than that of sapwood; the degree of the color’s reversion was positively correlated with the H2O2 strength, temperature and treating time; the H2O2 concentration has significant effects on the discoloration. In order to reduce discoloration of Scot pine veneers, medicament of resin-eliminated used have to be at some low concentration, and the optimal concentration of H2O2 is 0.35% during the process of color’s reversion.
