Injection Molding of Plastics from Agricultural Materials

OBJECTIVE DOE Chicago Operations %ice The objective of this research was to conduct a systematic study to relate injection molding parameters to properties of blends of starch and synthetic polymer. Blends of normal (25 % amylose) and high amylose (50 and 70% amylose) corn starch (containing between 60 and 70 % of the mixture by weight) and synthetic polymer were used in this research. Two diff...

Coating Acetylated Wood

Wood exposed to the outdoor environment is susceptible to weathering due to a series of chemical, biological and physical processes. Acetylation of wood is known to reduce cell wall moisture content, improve dimensional stability and durability against fungal decay. As a result of these improvements, less stress is created between the coating and the wood surface improving the performance of th...

Waste-Wood-Derived Fillers for Plastics

Filled thermoplastic composites are stiffer, stronger, and more dimensionally stable than their unfilled counterparts. Such thermoplastics are usually provided to the end-user as a precompounded, pelletized feedstock. Typical reinforcing fillers are inorganic materials like talc or fiberglass, but materials derived from waste wood, such as wood flour and recycled paper fiber, are also effective...

Compression Molding of Green Composite made of Wood Shavings

Creation of recycle-based society is an important factor in order to resolve geoenvironmental issues that are happening recently. A general recycling method for wooden materials is to make engineered board from wasted woods. For example, particle board, fiber board, ply board are used widely in architectural industry and so on. However, these boards contain chemical compounds such as urea resin...
