In-situ Surface Modification of Wood with Different Hot Press Platen Metallurgies

Creator:: Freitas, Shawn Robert
Abstract:: As the forest industry moves toward the use of younger trees and production of an increasing number of composite products improving durability has gained importance. Coatings are one of the most widely used methods for improving wood durability because they improve resistance to water penetration, and subsequent shrinking and swelling,...

Evaluation of various chemical treatments to prevent the abiotic deterioration of southern pine surfaces through outdoor screening trials

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F.
Abstract:: Rapid discoloration and checking of wooden surfaces when exposed outdoors has caused wood to fall out of favor as an outdoor building material, especially in applications where appearance is important. The surface appearance of wood products exposed outdoors can be improved through the application of film forming coatings or by...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:: Garcia, Carlos Manalo
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

Supercritical fluid impregnation with biocides of wood using temperature reduction

Creator:: Kang, Sung-Mo
Abstract:: Supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation is a promising preservative treatment method, however, the development of SCF processes has been slowed by a limited understanding of the process. Developing a better understanding of the effects of various process parameters on treatment results would allow for a more rational development of SCF impregnation....

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:: Rathi, Vardan M.
Abstract:: The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

Performance of wood frame wall with thin shell ECC shear panel

Creator:: Lewis, Michael C.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...

Chemical modification of wood : dimensional stabilization of viscoelastic thermal compressed wood

Creator:: Gabrielli, Christopher P.
Abstract:: The tendency of wood to shrink and swell with changing moisture content remains as one of the most significant challenges to using wood in its many applications. Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) has been shown to significantly increase the density, strength and stiffness of wood. However, dimensional stability is still a...

Morphological characterization of wood plastic composite (WPC) with advanced imaging tools : developing methodologies for reliable phase and internal damage characterization

Creator:: Wang, Yi
Abstract:: Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers, wood flour, and a small amount of process- and property-enhancing additives; they are principally used in the automotive industry and as secondary building materials. Although the WPC market is expected to keep growing, it is still relatively small when...
