Differentiation of the drying time of adhesives on plywoods through the dynamic speckle technique

Abstract

The drying time of adhesives such as Fevicol SH, Fevicol MR, Dendrite white and Bulbond after coating separately on the three plywoods, namely Archidply, Centuryply and Greenply, has been studied non-destructively using the dynamic speckle technique. The time history of the speckle pattern, the co-occurrence matrix, 3D graphs and line profiles of images from the time history of the speckle pattern along with 3D trajectory plots have been used for qualitative analysis whereas the inertia moment, absolute value difference, SM index and autocovariance have been used for quantitative analysis. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix has been used for the first time to study the textual parameters of adhesive coated on plywoods during drying. The average drying time of adhesive is a maximum for Bulbond on Archidply (357.25 ± 1.49 min) and a minimum for Dendrite white on Greenply (90.75 ± 2.36 min). Comparative studies among the results obtained for all the four adhesives on the three plywoods reveal that Dendrite white adhesive is the best among the adhesives because it takes the shortest time to dry on all the plywoods, and Greenply is the best among all the plywoods because drying is fastest on it for all the adhesives. Furthermore, it is also concluded that the best plywood and the best adhesive may be decided by knowing the remnant activity.

Assessment of milk fermentation process at three temperatures using laser speckle technique

“…The laser speckle technique [8] is a nondestructive and noncontact technique and has been used in many biological, as well as nonbiological fields such as the monitoring of the quality of fruits [8], the viability of seeds [9], blood flow detection in body parts [10], the phase change of ice cream from solid to liquid phase [11], the drying of adhesive [12] etc.…”

Detection, differentiation and mapping of different states of blue mold disease of Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis G.) using a biospeckle technique

“…It is very important to detect and monitor this type of fruit disease non-destructively. The laser biospeckle technique is a non-contact, non-destructive, non-invasive and non-harmful technique and has a wide application in agricultural (Braga et al 2005(Braga et al , 2009Zdunek and Herppich 2012;Ansari and Nirala 2015;Chatterjee et al 2017a, b), industrial (Kumari and Nirala 2018;Chatterjee et al 2017a, b) and medical fields (Briers and Webster 1996).…”
