可膨胀石墨与聚磷酸铵对木粉/聚丙烯复合材料的协同阻燃作用(英文)

采用锥形量热仪(CONE)研究可膨胀石墨(EG)与聚磷酸铵(APP)对木粉/聚丙烯复合材料的协同阻燃作用。CONE测试结果表明:EG和APP均可降低木粉/聚丙烯复合体系的热释放速率(HRR)、总热释放(THR)和烟释放速率(RSR),提高成炭率;与APP相比,EG表现出更好的抑烟效果。当EG与APP的总添加量为15%、复配比例为2∶1时,能形成稳定致密的膨胀炭层,阻燃协同效应显著。力学性能测试结果表明:即使在马来酸酐接枝聚丙烯相容剂(MAPP)的存在下,EG和APP阻燃剂的添加对复合材料的冲击强度和弯曲强度仍有不利影响,但EG的添加可提高复合材料的弯曲模量。

Effect of nanoclay on some applied properties of oriented strand board (OSB) made from underutilized low quality paulownia (Paulownia fortunei) wood

In this study, the effect of nanoclay on some applied properties of oriented strand board (OSB) made from underutilized low quality paulownia wood was investigated. Organo-modified montmorillonite (MMT) at four levels (0, 1, 3 and 5?%) was added to urea formaldehyde (UF) resin. Some chemical properties of paulownia wood (holocellulose, cellulose, lignin and ash contents, pH value and hot and cold water solubility), mechanical [modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), internal bond strength, screw and nail withdrawal strengths], physical (water absorption and thickness swelling) properties and formaldehyde emission of the strand boards were evaluated. Mechanical properties of all panels complied with the general-purpose OSB minimum property requirements of European Norm. With increasing 5?% nanoclay to UF resin, mechanical and physical properties of the resulting panels improved and formaldehyde emission decreased. However, none of the panels satisfied the thickness swelling and water absorption requirement. The results of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analysis confirmed the good dispersion of nanoclay in the resulting OSBs. Using paulownia as a fast-growing underutilized species not only can sustain the forests but also can supply raw material to countries facing shortage of wood.

Flammability Properties of Composites of Wood Fiber and Recycled Plastic

Flammability properties of composites of wood fiber and recycled plastic were evaluated by the cone calorimeter and oxygen index chamber. Results were shown as follows: 1) Wood-PVC composite showed worse thermal stability on time to ignition (TTI) and mean heat release rate (MHRR), but better performance on heat release rate (HRR) and mean efficient heat of combustion (MEHC); wood-PP composite had better thermal stability properties, but was worse on other fire performance; 2) Compared with wood-PVC composi...     

Utilization of pine (Pinus pinea L.) cone in manufacture of wood based composite

Physical and mechanical properties of medium density fiberboards (MDF) made from various mixtures of wood fibers and stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) cones were evaluated using European standards. MDF panels were manufactured using standardized procedures that simulated industrial production at the laboratory. Six panel types were made from mixtures of wood fiber/cone flour, 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50 percents, respectively. Addition of the cone flour into the MDF significantly reduced formaldehyde emission from the panel. In addition, the addition of 10% cone flour also improved water resistance of the MDF panels made using urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin. However, further addition of the cone flour into the panel negatively influenced their water resistance. Flexural properties and internal bond strength decreased with the increase of cone flour content in the panel. The UF resin is the main source of formaldehyde emission from the UF-bonded wood-based panels. Depending on addition of the cone flour in the panels, the formaldehyde emission values ranged from 2.6% to 55.3% lower than the panels made from 100% wood fiber. Based on the findings obtained from this study, pine cone can be used as a renewable biological formaldehyde catcher as an alternative to the traditional formaldehyde catchers for E1 Class MDF manufacture.     

Evaluation of fire-retardant properties of edge-jointed lumber from tropical fast-growing woods using cone calorimetry and a standard fire test

 Some tropical fast-growing woods were converted to edge-jointed lumber, and their fire-retardant properties due to chemical coating were evaluated using cone calorimetry and a standard fire test. The woods used were Indonesian and Malaysian albizia and gmelina plantation trees, with Japanese hinoki as a reference. The lumber was coated with 100 g/m² of trimethylol melamine phosphoric acid in a 25% aqueous solution. The treated and untreated lumber was tested in a laboratory-scale exposure furnace in accordance with JIS A 1304 and the cone calorimeter test with heat flux of 40 kW/m² following the ISO 5660. Results showed that fire endurance of all lumber was enhanced by the treatment. The fire-retardant properties were improved with increasing surface density. Though a similar trend was seen, the fire-retardant properties of the lumber revealed by the cone calorimeter test were inferior to those seen with standard fire test. Addition of thermocouples to the cone calorimeter allowed us to obtain information on the critical temperature (260°C) and charring temperature (300°C) of the lumber.

Comparative study on physical and mechanical properties of laminated veneer lumber and plywood panels made of wood from fast-growing <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gmelina arborea</Emphasis> trees

Laminated products, such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or plywood (PW), have become important recently. The objective of this study was to determine and compare properties of panels fabricated with veneers of Gmelina arborea trees in a fast-growth plantation and glued with phenol formaldehyde resin. The results showed that LVL and PW physical and mechanical properties are comparable to those of solid wood with a specify gravity of 0.60. Moreover, these panels can be cataloged into group 2 of PS 1–95 of the Voluntary Products Standard of the United States. The difference in physical properties was not statistically significant between LVL and PW panels, except for water absorption. Some mechanical properties, such as hardness and glue-line shear, modulus of rupture in perpendicular flexure, nail and screw withdrawal parallel, and perpendicular strength, were statistically different between LVL and PW. However, no differences were established for the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength parallel to the surface, or tensile strength perpendicular to the surface. The differences were attributed to the venners’ orientation in the panels studied.     

Some of the properties of particleboard made from paulownia

The objective of this study was to determine some of the properties of experimental particleboard panels made from low-quality paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa). Chemical properties including holocellulose, cellulose, lignin contents, water solubility, and pH level of the wood were also analyzed. Three-layer experimental panels were manufactured with two density levels using urea–formaldehyde as a binder. Modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond strength (IB), screw-holding strength, thickness swelling, and surface roughness of the specimens were evaluated. Panels with densities of 0.65 g/cm³ and manufactured using a 7-min press time resulted in higher mechanical properties than those of made with densities of 0.55 g/cm³ and press times of 5 min. Based on the initial findings of this study, it appears that higher values of solubility and lignin content of the raw material contributed to better physical and mechanical properties of the experimental panels. All types of strength characteristics of the samples manufactured from underutilized low-quality paulownia wood met the minimum strength requirements of the European Standards for general uses.     

分子筛前驱体对定向刨花板性能的影响

人造板阻燃研究中常将分子筛用作阻燃添加剂或协效剂,但合成分子筛通常使用水热方法,耗能大、流程复杂。本研究采用LTA型分子筛的合成前驱体浸渍处理刨花并制备阻燃定向刨花板(OSB)。通过热重分析(TGA)和极限氧指数(LOI)测试对浸渍处理刨花的热分解行为和燃烧性能进行考察,采用锥形量热测试和力学性能测试探究了分子筛前驱体处理刨花对OSB阻燃性能和力学性能的影响,并考察了残炭的微观形貌和元素组成。结果表明:分子筛前驱体浸渍处理提高了刨花的成炭性能和热稳定性,浸渍处理刨花的LOI由19.1%提升到44.0%,达到难燃级别。浸渍处理刨花制备的OSB第1、第2热释放速率峰值分别降低了48.1%和32.2%,总热释放量和总烟释放量较对照组分别降低了42.4%和47.0%。浸渍处理OSB的可燃气体产量减少、残炭量明显提升,同时在刨花表面生成Na₂CO₃和α-Al₂O₃等物质,提升了炭层稳定性,表明分子筛前驱体在气相和凝聚相方面均能起到阻燃作用。分子筛前驱体在刨花表面的沉积使刨花含水率提高、胶层的胶接性能下降,导致浸渍处理刨花制备的OSB各项力学性能均有所下降,但仍满足定向刨花板行业标准LY/T 1580—2010中OSB/3型刨花板的性能要求。     

Evaluation of combustion properties of wood pellets using a cone calorimeter

In this study, the combustion properties of wood pellets were evaluated using a cone calorimeter, which is usually used to verify the fireproof performance of architectural materials. In contrast to the conventional methods including combustion calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, a cone calorimeter can estimate various combustion parameters, e.g., changes of heat release rate (HRR), weight decrease during burning process, ignition time, and flame-out and burn-out time as well as combustion heat, in a single experimental run with no pretreatment for sample size reduction. The following results were obtained by the combustion test of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and larch (Larix kaempferi) wood pellets having various volume densities. Ignition time of wood pellet became slower with increasing volume density of the pellets. However, burn-out time was not clearly correlated to volume density. The heat release values measured by cone calorimeter could be comparable to those from the conventional combustion calorimeters, and flaming heat values of the bark pellets were always lower in comparison with pellets made of xylem, although total heat release was almost the same.     

Fire retardancy and CO/CO2 emission of intumescent coatings on thin plywood panel with waterborne vinyl acetate-acrylic resin

Using intumescent coatings on wood-based materials is an effective method for fire safety. Previous studies have demonstrated that the formulation of components strongly influences the performance of coatings. This study investigated the effect of intumescent formulation of vinyl acetate-acrylic coating on flame retardancy of plywood. The fire retardancy of materials was assessed by both heat release and CO and CO₂ emissions. The CO and CO₂ emissions have not been used frequently to rank materials; the highly toxic CO and CO₂ may cause most fire fatalities. The fire retardancy of coatings on plywood was assessed by a cone calorimeter. Total heat release and time to peak heat release rate were the two primary parameters. The data show that low contents of binder resin (BR) and foam producing substance (FPS) decreased total heat release and lengthened time to peak heat release rate. Additionally, low BR and FPS content can form an ideal char layer. The ideal char layer significantly decreased the CO and CO₂ emission. The mechanism to achieve better fire performance was verified by thermogravimetrical analysis exhibiting lower weight loss. Moreover, evaluated by ³¹P NMR, the low BR and FPS content can extend the survival duration of phosphor-carbonaceous chars. The results provide information for designing vinyl acetate-acrylic emulsion coating.     

Fire performance of carbonized medium density fiberboard manufactured at different temperatures

Authors established a new manufacturing technology for crack-free carbonized boards by pressing and carbonizing the medium-density fiberboard. Industrialization of new functional carbon materials was performed by investigating the fundamental properties of the carbonized boards. To be used as a construction material, the carbonized board needs to satisfy the fire performance regulation. In this study, the carbonized boards were manufactured from medium-density fiberboard (c-MDF) at different temperatures and then fire performance including flame retardancy and smoke toxicity was analyzed using a cone calorimeter and noxious gas analyzer. The results show that as the carbonization temperature increases, weight loss ratio decreases and flame retardancy increases. In the c-MDF at 800 and 1000 °C, no external damage was observed after combustion. These c-MDFs satisfy the total heat release (standard below 8 MJ/m²) and heat release rate (standard below 200 kW/m²) regulations according to the Building Standard Law of Korea and Japan. In addition, the c-MDFs showed the lower total smoke release (TSR, 0.213 m²/m²) than that of virgin MDF (94.281 m²/m²). The c-MDF at 800 and 1000 °C were, therefore, classified as a class III flame retardancy material and can be used as indoor finishing material.     

The fire-retardant properties of the melamine-modified urea–formaldehyde resins mixed with ammonium polyphosphate

Fire retardancy of melamine-modified urea–formaldehyde resin (MUF) containing intumescent fire-retardant ammonium polyphosphate (APP) (MUF/APP) was conducted by cone calorimeter with surface treatment of medium density fiberboard (MDF). The results showed that the six MUF resins synthesized with different F/(M + U) and M/U molar ratios containing APP significantly improved the fire retardancy of the MDF by prolonging ignition time, reducing heat release rate and total heat release, and decreasing mass loss rate. The fire-retardant properties of the six synthesized MUF/APP acted differently even though each MUF resin containing the same mass ratio of APP. The melamine content in the MUF should not be too high, otherwise it would decrease the fire-retardant properties of MUF/APP. Based on this study, the higher the APP amounts, the better the fire-retardant performance of the resin was. The fire retardancy of MUF/APP increased with the increase in the amount of glue that spread on the material surface. However, only the amount of glue spread exceeded 250 g/m², whereas the ability of MUF/APP in inhibiting heat release did not increase significantly any longer.     

Effect of thermal treatment on properties of OSB panels

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thermal treatment of strand particles (pre-treatment) and panels (post-treatment) on the physical and mechanical properties of OSB. The experimental design consisted of five treatments, with the evaluation of the following: two particle treatment temperatures (473.15 and 513.15 K) for a period of 60 min, thermal post-treatment of the panels produced with and without application of wax emulsion at 493.15 K for a period of 12 min, and panels without heat treatment (control). For each treatment, three panels were produced with adhesives based on phenol formaldehyde. The pressing cycle of the panels was at a pressure of 3.51 MPa, 433.15 K and 8 min. Through the analysis of the results, it was possible to draw the following conclusions: the panels produced with the particles heat-treated at 513.15 K showed the best dimensional stability. The thermal post-treatment caused a significant improvement in some of the physical properties of the panels without compromising the mechanical properties. The thermal pre-treatment provided a more pronounced effect on the panel properties than the thermal post-treatment providing improved physical properties and lower mechanical properties.
