Abstract Nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) was extracted by alkaline treatment of Yucca leaves followed by bleaching using H2O2, and then modified by silica nanoparticles (NPs). Obtained silica NPs modified NFC (SiO2 NPs-mNFC) was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM and EDX analysis, and its metronidazole drug delivery properties were studied. However bare NFC showed higher loading of metronidazole than SiO2 NPs-mNFC, but NFC showed faster release of metronidazole than SiO2 NPs-mNFC. Release of metronidazole from NFC is not pH dependent, as 92.2% and 85.4% cumulative release percentage of metronidazole was released until 7.5 h, at both pH values of 4.5 and 7.4, respectively. However, SiO2 NPs-mNFC released the metronidazole very slowly, and was also pH sensitive, as cumulative release percentage of metronidazole were measured to be 53.3% at pH = 4.5, and 19.6% at pH = 7.4 after 48 h. Kinetic of the metronidazole release from SiO2 NPs-mNFC was studied by fitting the experimental data with well-known kinetic models, such as First order, Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, Hixson-Corwell and Baker-Lonsdale models. Results revealed that the metronidazole release is well fitted with Hixson–Crowell models at both pH values, confirming that the change in surface area of SiO2 NPs-mNFC during the process of dissolution has a significant effect on metronidazole release. Fickian diffusion of metronidazole at both pH was concluded by calculating n values of 0.3438 at pH = 7.4 and 0.4224 at pH = 4.5 by nonlinear fitting the release experimental data using Korsmeyer-Peppas model.

Abstract Polymer composites, based on the wood flour originating from an invasive black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) treated with caffeine to achieve increased bio-resistance, were obtained in this study. The caffeine-treated wood had a significant effect on the supermolecular structure of polymer matrix, resulting in a high content of polymorphic β-PP phase, as well as an increase in nucleation activity of wood surface. The caffeine treatment of wood was an effective method of achieving increased resistance of composites to selected fungi and bacteria while maintaining good mechanical strength and thermal resistance. Addition of black cherry wood to polymer matrix induced inhibition of the release of volatile organic compounds. Increased resistance to fungi and bacteria depended on formation a significant amount of the β-phase up to 35% in the composite with 30% of caffeine-treated wooden filler and a simultaneous decrease in crystallinity from 52% for pure PP to 45% for mentioned composite.

Abstract Spalted heartwood is valued for its vibrant colors, patterns, and decay-free appearance. Using microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and non-targeted metabolomics, we aimed to study some distinctive features of black patterning. The results showed that cocci might be associated with the production of spalted heartwood. There was an absence of decay in the spalted heartwood because the cocci had not aggressively attacked the cell walls. 4-pyridoxine, often associated with the bacterial stimulation of organisms, was identified as an upregulated metabolite in the black-patterned wood compared to non-colored areas. We identified four primary metabolic pathways related to bacterial activity associated with the black patterning: pentose and glucuronate interconversions, ATP-binding cassette transporters, histidine metabolism, and plant hormone signal transduction. These results suggest that microbes might play a significant role in the development of the heartwood’s distinctive black pattern in Diospyros spp.

Abstract This current study aims to extract bamboo fibers from different species of bamboo using the mechanochemical method and investigate their properties. The bamboo species used in this study were Dendrocalamus, Bambusa balcoaa, Oliveri, Asamica, and Chimono. The vacuum-pressurized impregnation treatment process was employed for treating the bamboo. The mechanochemical method was chosen for extracting the bamboo fibers due to its simplicity and efficiency. The yield percentage of the bamboo fibers was determined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed an increase in the crystallinity of the bamboo fibers with subsequent treatments in the presence of NaOH, as evidenced by two well-defined peaks at 2θ = 17.6° and 2θ = 22.7°. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of numerous hydroxyl groups in the bamboo fibers, indicated by the –OH expanding and contracting vibration at the band around 3311 cm−1. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted to investigate the thermal stability of the bamboo fibers, and the results demonstrated that chimino bamboo fiber exhibited the highest level of thermal stability compared to other treated bamboo fibers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed for morphological characterization, providing insights into the surface morphology of the bamboo fibers. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that bamboo fibers, particularly of the chimino type, have the potential to serve as a viable reinforcement in polymeric composites for lightweight applications in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and packaging.

Abstract Three-dimensional hydrophobic and efficient electromagnetic shielding Cu/wood/Cu laminated composites were prepared by a simple one-step electroless Cu process. The number of electroless Cu on wood surface and the treatment time of electroless Cu were used as variables. The effects of independent variables in the range from 0.3 ×10−3 to 3.0 GHz (L-band) on the conductivity, water contact angle and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the composite were analyzed. The Cu particles are fully filled in the wood hierarchical porous structure, and the metal coating uniformly covers the entire wood surface. After three times of electroless Cu, the conductivity of the composite can reach 7255 S/cm, the contact angle is 130.8° when the time is 12 min, showing good hydrophobic properties, and the average electromagnetic shielding effectiveness is as high as 96 dB. Compared with the L-band (94 dB), the twice electroless sample has a maximum shielding effectiveness of 85.6 dB in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz), which can shield a large number of incident electromagnetic waves to achieve high absorption and low reflection. The anisotropic internal porous structure of wood matrix and the multi-interface polarization between wood and Cu are the main reasons for the effective electromagnetic interference shielding performance of Cu/wood/Cu laminated composites.

Abstract A recent research focus has been on developing sustainable and renewable high-performance electromagnetic shielding materials. We present here a robust and effective top-down method in which polydopamine (PDA) is added to delignified wood via in situ polymerization, and Ag particles are successfully deposited in the wood channel via PDA’s adhesive property with a subsequent silver mirror reaction. According to our findings, when the AgNO3 content is 30 g/L, the conductivity of 2-mm-thick conductive wood reached 500 S/cm with an electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency of 50 dB in the X-band. The three-dimensional network structure of the wood is preserved, and thus it has good mechanical properties. Hence, silver-plated wood can be used as an electromagnetic shielding material that requires high strength. Graphical Abstract

Abstract Rotation welding of wood dowels has the advantages of high bonding strength, fast processing speed and green environmental protection, and is suitable for jointing nodes in furniture and wood products. However, most wood friction welding specimens have poor water resistance where the welded joints are more likely to be damaged in wet environments, which greatly limits their wider application. Previous studies focused on using natural and green materials or methods to enhance bonding strength and water resistance of friction-welded joints. This paper reveals an innovative chemical pretreatment method to improve the water resistance of rotary friction welded joints by treating the substrate blocks or dowels with reagents that successively oxidize and sulfonate the wood, and spraying the dowels with Zinc acetate alcohol solution that has a lubricant effect, followed by friction welding. The findings show that both the dry bonding strength of friction welded joints and the wet bonding strength after impregnation with cold, hot, and boiling water of dowels pretreated with oxidation and sulfonation reactions were higher than those without pretreatment and significantly superior to the traditional polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive bonding.

Abstract Interactions between the hierarchical structure of Japanese cypress and small hydroxylic solvents with high polarity were studied using variable-temperature 13C cross-polarization and magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS) NMR spectroscopy, including low-temperature measurements. 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra were enhanced by dipolar interactions closely related to 1H–13C magnetization transfer, providing information about the interaction between woody materials and small hydroxyl molecules. The change in interaction was particularly near the melting point of the hydroxylic solvent, where a decrease in the intensity of the cypress carbohydrate signal and the appearance of the signal of solvent molecules were observed. The trend of signal intensity in the variable-temperature 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra of cypress and cellulose fibers in the presence of hydroxylic solvents indicated that the decrease in the carbohydrate signal intensity due to the transfer of magnetization near the melting point of the hydroxyl molecule is greater when the size of the hydroxyl molecule is smaller. Furthermore, molecular association in the nanopores of the hierarchical structure allowed the hydroxyl molecular signals of the impregnated cypress to appear above the melting point.

Furthermore, molecular association in the nanopores of the hierarchical structure allowed the hydroxyl molecular signals of the impregnated cypress to appear above the melting point.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43337883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
