The change of the specific wood surface at the shape memory effect is considered in this paper. The study was conducted using sorptive analyzer of specific surface and distribution of pores according to the size of Quadrasorb SI. Specific surface of samples SSA, сm2/g, was found by the low-temperature adsorption of krypton at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K) and was cal-culated by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The samples of beech, pine, oak sliced veneer and birch rotary-cut veneer were investigated.
Features and characteristics of wood as a natural smart material allow us to use it to create new smart biocomposite materials, intelligent systems and environments. The shape-memory effect of oak (Quercus robur L.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth) veneers was investigated. Thermomechanical spectrometry was used to study these two species, which makes it possible to establish the relationship between the deformation transformations and the nature of intermolecular interactions and the interchain organization of wood polymers. The quantitative and molecular relaxation characteristics of the topological structure were obtained for the characterization of the shape-memory effect for the permanent, temporary and after recovery shapes of birch and oak wood samples. The results showed a relationship between the quantities of shape-memory effect and changes in the molecular-topological structure. A reversible transformation of a topological structure was experimentally confirmed for birch and oak woods, with the formation of a temporary deformation and the recovery of the original permanent shapes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
