Abstract

Chitosan is known as a natural polymer which improves strengths of papers. So, in this study investigated improvement of chitosan absorption on modified craft fibers and increase its efficiency. The effects of chitosan were experimented in three levels of 0%, 0.75% and 1.25% on modified kraft fibers ... Read More

Abstract

Old corrugated container (OCC) recycling generates large volume of effluent which is heavily loaded with pollutants. Its treatment is very difficult and complicated due to the presence of various pollutants and certain chemical with complicated structure. In this study, the treatment of OCC recycling ... Read More

Read More In this investigation, the surface chemical properties of the beech wood layers were characterized and the impact of drying condition on the strength of the bond was examined. Defect free beech logs were harvested and then the layers were prepared. The moisture content of the specimens were adjusted at 30, 40 and 50% (dry basis) and then the specimens were air dried under the environment of 30% relative humidity and 21ºC to reach the equilibrium moisture content of about 10% (dry basis). The pH and buffering capacity of the surface layer and the layer 0.5 mm underneath the surface were measured. The dried specimens were bonded using urea-formaldehyde resin and the tensile strength and wood failure were measured using relevant ASTM method. The results showed that as the moisture content prior to air drying was increased, the tensile strength was reduced, but the effect of this variable on tensile strength was not statistically significant. However, the effect of moisture content on wood failure was statistically significant at 99% significance level. The effect of the pH of the under layer on both tensile strength and wood failure was statistically significant at 95%. As the moisture content of the wood increased, the pH of the surface layer increased and the strength of the bond with urea-formaldehyde resin was deteriorated. At higher initial moisture of the wood, the alkaline buffering capacity of the surface layer was lower and its effect of the strength was not statistically significant, but it was significant on wood failure at 99% level. The alkaline buffering capacity of under layer was also changed and statistically affected the bond strength and wood failure at 95% level. The higher alkaline buffering capacity of the under layer adversely affected the tensile strength of the bond. The lowest acid buffering capacity was measured from specimens with 40% initial moisture content and as the acid buffering capacity was increased, the tensile strength was reduced and the wood failure was higher. The impact of surface layer acid buffering capacity on tensile strength was on statistically significant, but on wood failure was statistically significant at 99% level.
