In this study, the mechanical properties of kenaf cement composite were investigated using different amounts of kenaf particles (mixture of kenaf core and bark and kenaf core particles). Kenaf-cement composites were manufactured at different levels (10, 15 and 20%) of different kenaf particles. Also, Portland cement and calcium chloride (as cement accelerating additive) were used in this research. Calcium chloride and water were mixed well and then kenaf particles were added to the mixture. At next stage, cement was added to the prepared mixture and all component were mixed well. Prepared mixture was molded to the wooden mold and kenaf cement composites were produced. The results obtained from mechanical evaluation of kenaf-cement composites showed the highest bending strength in 10% kenaf bark-cement composites. Also results revealed that highest modulus of elasticity of 10% kenaf core-cement products were obtained. The results of this research revealed the potential of kenaf particles as reinforcement in cement composite production.

Abstract In this research, the effect of cellulose nanocrystals on the functional properties of wood cement composite panels has been investigated. Variable factors in this research are the percentage of nano in (five levels of 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1%), the weight of cement and also the ratio of mixing wood chips with cement in three levels (1 to 3, 1 To 3.5 and 1 to 4) dry weight of cement. In this research, poplar wood and Portland cement type 2 have been used as fixed agents. In total, 15 treatments and 3 replicates of each treatment were made. Preparation of sample in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 634) and measurement of physical and mechanical properties including flexural modulus, modulus of elasticity in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 310), internal adhesion in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 319), thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours of immersion in water was performed according to the standard (DIN / EN 317). Increased cellulose nanocrystals improved physical and mechanical strength. SEM microscopic images were taken from the samples to examine the microstructural properties of the composite. In the pictures, it was found that by adding cellulose nanocrystals, we see an improvement in the disintegration of nanocomposite materials and as a result, an increase in mechanical and physical properties

The aim of this study was to construct lightweight structures and reduce energy loss. The aim of this study was to produce cement wood or composite products by combining organic particles such as wood fibers and lignocellulosic materials with monolith. The investigated product consisted of cement wood made from scrap wood fibers and poplar wood particle thickness of 20 mm on both sides of the structure and 10 mm thick unolith in the middle of the structure. Products manufactured by Unolite Cement will have a combination of cement and Unolite properties. In this study, according to the studied variables including lignocellulosic materials and amount of additive (such as calcium chloride (Cacl) at two levels of 3 and 5%, the best specimens were prepared using 10% lignocellulosic materials. The thickness of the specimens was uniform at the two monolithic surfaces and all fabrication conditions such as discharge rate, press pressure, coalescence rate were assumed to be uniform and constant.In static bending experiment the mean maximum load force for ordinary brick failure was 3933.26N and the mean. The maximum load for breaking the cement stick was 389/78 N, which was approximately It has 10% resistance to ordinary brick but ordinary brick breaks abruptly when fractured, while the monolithic brick is gradually broken and the insulation properties due to the cellulosic fibers and the monolith in it are higher than the ordinary brick due to its low resistance to use. Recommended in partitions.

In this study, the composition of bagasse composite was investigated using different amounts of bagasse particles. Bagasse and cement particles are manufactured at levels (5, 10 and 15%) and percentage of calcium chloride as cement accelerating additive at two levels (3 and 2%) based on cement dry weight. Then, the mixture was poured into a mold measuring 15 8 18 8 8 cm and the excess water was removed from the bottom of the mold and initially weighed 10 kg on the specimens. The specimens were removed from the mold after 48 hours and kept in a glass saturated room at 90% humidity for 14 days and then finally dried in a laboratory environment. The bending strength and physical properties tests were performed on the specimens. The results showed that bagasse particles had a significant effect on bending strength and other physical properties. The bending strength was highest in boards made with 10% bagasse particles.

The main purpose of the production of cement or wood products, composite panels by binding mineral particles mixed with organic materials such as wood and mineral lignocellolosic connectors such as cement, plaster, etc. This study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of making wood-cement using Poplar sawdust and Portland cement. A total of 30 bricks were made in the laboratories of Wood and production based on ratios of sawdust to cement (5-95, 10-90, 15-85, 25 -75 persent). Mass and volume of samples were measured and then density of bricks was calculated. The composites were tested for compressive strength using testing machine. The mean compressive strength values were 1.75 and 0.38 MPa composites with sawdust to cement ratios of 5-95 and 25-75 respectively, soaked composites swelled irrespective of the sawdust to cement ratio. The compressive strength for the soaked bricks was approximately 40% of the dry weight strength. The composite bricks were found to be unfit for paving and medium heavy load wall construction. Due to their light weight, by imparting decorative mosaics they can be used for interior wall paneling and decoration, where minimal wetting is experienced

In order to study the optimum manufacturing conditions of wood sawdust-cement perforated blocks, sawdust of headrige saw was mixed with portland cement type II, and then perforated blocks were molded from this mixture. The mixture ratios of sawdust to cement were selected as 28:72, 35:65 and 42:58, respectively. CaCl2 (Calcium chloride) or MgCl2 (Magnesium chloride) at two levels (3%,5% based on the weight of the cement) were used as additives. The results of physical (thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours soaking in water) and mechanical (compressive strength) properties of the blocks revealed that varying the sawdust to cement ratio imparted differences in physical and mechanical properties of the blocks. The blocks with sawdust to cement ratio of 42:58 showed the highest compressive strength and blocks with sawdust to cement ratio of 28:72 showed the lowest thickness swelling. It was observed that the type of additive did not impose any significant effect on physical and mechanical properties of blocks. Whereas the effect of MgCl2 level on the properties was significant

In this study the possibility of bagasse fiber usage in Fiber-Cement Composite (FCC) manufacturing, was investigated. Two load of bagasse fiber (%4, 10), three level of calcium chloride as facilitator (5, 7.5 and 10 percent per dry weight of cement) and two type of Portland cement (type II and V) were considered as variables (12 treatments). There were three replicates for each treatment, thus 36 experimental board were manufactured totally. The physical and mechanical properties of experimental specimens were investigated and results analyzed by SPSS software as fully randomized factorial model. As results indicated, there was no significant different between cement type II and V in physical and mechanical properties. The increased loads of calcium chloride caused a striking reduction in mechanical properties and increased water absorption amounts. The best bending strength, modulus of elasticity, IB and minimum thickness swelling were reported in treatment with 4% fibers, 7.5% calcium chloride and type II cement.
