Functional composite films were successfully prepared from cellulose, graphite(GP), and polyaniline(PANI) using a combination of physical and chemical processes. Cellulosewasdissolved in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate(NMMO) and regenerated in water to form the matrix. GP was dispersed in the NMMO solvent prior to the dissolution of the cellulose, and PANI was deposited on the surfaces of the cellulose/GP films by in situ chemical polymerization. The structures of the PANI/cellusose/GP composite films were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and SEM/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The mechanical strengths, thermal stabilities, conductivities, and antibacterial activities of the films were studied in detail. The results showed that GP formed a multilayered structure in the cellulose matrix and that the PANI nanoparticles were tightly wrapped on the film surface. The film thickness increased from 40 mm to 100 mm after the addition of GP and PANI. The tensile strength of the composite films was 80~107 MPa, with the elongation at break being 3%~10%. The final residual weight of the composite films was as high as 65%, and the conductivity of the composite films reached 14.36 S/m. The cellulose matrix ensured that the films were flexible and exhibited desirable mechanical properties, while the GP filler significantly improved the thermal stability of the films. The PANI coating acted as a protective layer during burning and provided good electrical conductivity and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli; both of these characteristics were slightly enhanced by the incorporation of GP. These PANI/cellulose/GP composite films should be suitable for use in electronics, antistatic packing, and numerous other applications.

In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was built to study the relationship between the process parameters of heat treatment and the hardness of wood. Three important parameters: temperature (170, 180, 190, 200 and 210°C), treatment time (2, 4, 6 and 8h), and wood species (Larch and Poplar) were considered as the inputs to the neural network. There were four neurons in the hidden layer that were used, and an output layer as wood hardness. According to the results, the mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) were determined as 0.1167%, 0.355% and 1.34% in the prediction of wood hardness values for training, validation, and testing data sets. Determination coefficients (R2) greater than 0.99 were obtained for all data sets with the proposed ANN models. These results show that ANN models can be used successfully for predicting hardness changes hardness of wood during heat treatment.

In the laser edge banding system, automatic color reading and adjustment of input color matching that of edge banding is an important factor in achieving high automation level. This paper describes a working prototype designed for color-based automatic sorting of objects. TCS3200 sensor was used to detect the color of the product; and Arduino board was used to control the overall process in which matching sealing edge was introduced. Color input was based on analysis of reading of TCS3200 sensor. Results illustrated matching of color in a series of products coded E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and E8. According to the results, we concluded that laser edge sealing reduces unstable factors, reduces labor and stalibizes product quality.

In this study, the authors used hot wax selected from beeswax and insect wax. These two types of wax are blended with a 1: 1 ratio. Then use three methods of surface treatment before wax coating on the Ash wood surface including hydrothermal method, compound lye method, and plasma method. Through comparative analysis of 4 properties: color, adhesion, hardness and surface properties of the hydrophobic coating. The results show that the hot wax coating on the ash surface can maintain the original color of the wood. Comparison of three methods of wood treatment shows that: plasma method for the coating surface has the best adhesion, hydrothermal method for best surface hardness of the coating, and the hydrophobicity of hot wax after hydrothermal pretreatment is the best.
