“…In wood and wood composites, Shore-D hardness is preferred (Karamanoglu and Akyildiz 2013;Mattos et al 2015;Chu et al 2016;Li et al 2018). Shore hardness is already commonly used with several wood composites such as wood plastic composites (Vedrtnam et al 2019;Bhaskar et al 2020), pine sawdust mixed with polyvinyl alcohol adhesive (Li et al 2011), wood polymerized with montmorillonite (Wang et al 2014), composites prepared by free radical in situ polymerization of methacrylate monomers into pinewood (Mattos et al 2015), poplar wood impregnated with phenolic resins (Li et al 2018), or rubber composites using wood flour has filling (Nitz et al 2000;Kılınç et al 2019). Uses with solid wood have been more scarce, but nevertheless there are some examples such as the tests made by Sahin and Onay (2020) for alternative wood species for playgrounds wood from fruit trees or a study on suitability of some wood species for landscape applications (Şahin et al 2020).…”

Hardness is an important wood property for several applications. Typically, it is necessary to use traditional methods, such as a universal test machine, to determine a wood’s hardness value. This work reports the hardness of some wood species before and after heat treatment (ThermoWood method) using the Shore-D hardness method. The Shore-D hardness value of untreated wood ranged between 35.3 for Limba wood and 77.2 for Santos wood. With heat treatment, hardness decreased, and the decrease was greater for samples that underwent harsher treatment (2 h at 212 °C). The decrease of hardness was highest for Sipo wood (14%) and the lowest for Afrormosia wood (2.5%). Analysis of variance tests showed that there was a significant difference between wood species, heat treatment, and the interaction between both variables at the chosen level of significance (P ≤ 0.05). Results showed that Shore-D hardness could be used to measure hardness directly in a production line or in small wood companies without using a universal test machine.

Purpose The growing environmental awareness all through the world has motivated a standard change toward planning and designing better materials having good performance, which are very much suited to the environmental factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact on mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties of sawdust-based composites reinforced by epoxy, and the amount of sawdust in each form. Design/methodology/approach Manufacturing of the sawdust reinforced epoxy composites is the main area of the research for promoting the green composite by having good mechanical properties, biodegradability or many applications. Throughout this research work, the authors emphasize the importance of explaining the methodology for the evaluation of the mechanical and water absorption properties of the sawdust reinforced epoxy composites used by researchers. Findings In this paper, a comprehensive review of the mechanical properties of sawdust reinforced epoxy composite is presented. This study is reported about the use of different Wt.% of sawdust composites prepared by different processes and their mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties. It is studied that after optimum filler percentage, mechanical, thermal properties gradually decrease, but water absorption property increases with Wt.% of sawdust. The changes in the microstructure are studied by using scanning electron microscopy. Originality/value The novelty of this study lies in its use of a systematic approach that offers a perspective on choosing suitable processing parameters for the fabrication of composite materials for persons from both industry and academia. A study of sawdust reinforced epoxy composites guides new researchers in the fabrication and characterization of the materials.

“…WPCs offer resistance to biological deterioration agents / water / moisture / fungi attack (properties depends on the ration of components, characteristics of wood flour / fiber, type of additives, etc.) [5][6][7][8][9]. Can be substituted for solid wood in today's building structures and industrial applications if certain structural limitations are addressed.…”

Paper deals with cutting of composite material with natural reinforcement by AWJ (Abrasive Water Jet). The samples were cut with four different abrasive mass flow (from 150-300 g.min-1) and different traverse speeds (depending on the required cut quality Q according standard list). SN 214001 standard is used for evaluating of one selected parameter – edge radius (rk) by used a digital microscope. After the cutting, the weight loss/gain of the samples of the individual sets are also evaluated and conclusions formulated.
