Abstract The treatment of wheat straw is very difficult, and its utilization rate is very low; accumulation causes air pollution and
even fire. To make full use of wheat straw resources, we examined how using different physical and chemical methods
to treat the wheat straw which can improve its strength abilities, or enhance the activity of wheat straw ash. In terms of
concrete additives, it can reduce the amount of cement used. In this paper, we found that alkali treatment can significantly improve the tensile strength of wheat straw fiber, but polyvinyl alcohol treatment has no obvious effect

Abstract The bamboo scrimber is an anisotropic material. The elastic constant values of the bamboo scrimber specimens
measured by the dynamic and static methods are consistent, and the dynamic test method has the advantages of
rapidity, simplicity, good repeatability, and high precision. Bamboo scrimber has strong potential as a building
material, and its elastic constant is an important index to measure its mechanical properties. To quickly, simply,
non-destructively, and accurately detect the elastic constant of the bamboo scrimber, they were dynamically tested
by the free plate transient excitation method and cantilever plate torsional vibration method. The static four-point

Abstract Aminated tannins were prepared by reacting mimosa condensed tannin extract with ammonia yielding the substitution of many, if not all of the tannin hydroxyl groups with –NH2 groups. A tannin-aminated tannin (ATT)
particleboard coating was then prepared by reacting raw tannin extract with aminated tannin extract and thus
cross-liking the two by substituting tannin’s hydroxyl groups with the –NH2 groups on the aminated tannin to
form –NH-bridges between the two. The resulting particleboard coating gave encouraging results when pressed
at 180°C for 3 min. Conversely, the system in which tannin was reacted/cross-liked with urea (ATU) by a similar

Abstract The performance of engineered wood products is highly associated with proper bonding and an efficient cutting
method. This paper investigates the influence of CO2 laser cutting on the wetting properties, the modified chemical component of the laser-cut surface, and the strength and adhesive penetration near the bondline. Beechwood is cut by the laser with varying processing parameters, cutting speeds, gas pressures, and focal point

Abstract Wood-based functional materials have developed rapidly. But the flammability significantly limits its further
application. To improve the flame retardancy, the balsa wood was delignified by NaClO2 solution to create a cellulose scaffold, and then alternately immersed in CaCl2 ethanol solution and NaHCO3 aqueous solution under
vacuum. The high porosity and wettability resulting from delignification benefited the following mineralization
process, changing the thermal properties of balsa wood significantly. The organic-inorganic wood composite
