Modification of wood physical-mechanical properties by a mild hygrothermal treatment

2014
Mild thermal treatments (below 160°C) are increasingly considered as a mean to accelerate some beneficial effects of wood ageing. In this work, treatments were done in a pressurized reactor which has controlled conditions of temperature and relative humidity.

Dimensional stability improvement of kenaf panels by post-manufacturing hygrothermal treatments using response surface methodology

Industrial Crops and Products, 2015
Abstract The potential of various hygrothermal post manufacturing treatments is evaluated in this study to determine the suitable heat treatment and moisture conditions for relieving the internal residual stresses and improving the dimensional stability characteristics of medium density and high density kenaf fiberboards (MDF and HDF, respectively ...

Hygrothermal ageing of adhesive joints with nanoreinforced adhesives and different surface treatments of carbon fibre/epoxy substrates

International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, 2013
Abstract The effect of water absorption on the strength of single lap adhesive joints subjected to accelerated hygrothermal ageing (55 °C, 95% relative humidity, 800 h) was analysed. Two different variables were studied: the surface treatment of the carbon fibre/epoxy laminates (peel ply, grit blasting and atmospheric pressure plasma) and the ...

Rice stubble reinforced polymeric composites: Improvement in hygrothermal durability through fibre pre-treatment

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications
Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive scientific knowledge on the response of hygrothermal ageing of rice stubble-based composites, which limits their potential applications. In this work, the effect of alkali and water pre-treatment on the hygrothermal ageing, mechanical strength, contact angle, and morphology of the rice stubble fibre ...
