In the past decades, the field of wood science and technology (WST) in the world has experienced significant changes in response to changes in resources, environments, technologies, and other emerging issues. WST in China is becoming a strong scientific discipline and has had an obvious impact on the global WST research and development (R&D) activities. In this article, a comprehensive review of the recent WST R&D advances in China is presented. Among various contributing factors, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), a state funding agency for basic research, has played a critical role in helping to shape up the Chinese R&D activities in the field. NSFC funding information in the WST field from 1988 to 2014, including the number of approved projects, funding level, and supported program categories, was retrieved and analyzed. The positive roles of NSFC in supporting free exploration, cultivating research teams and youth talents, and promoting WST R&D are demonstrated. Hot spots in some focused research areas, key advances in the field, challenges, and future prospect of the Chinese WST development are outlined.

Summary To better understand the charring properties of bamboo scrimber, a standard fire test was conducted to examine the effect of moisture content, exposure time, and grain direction on the charring rate of bamboo scrimber. The bamboo scrimber specimens were exposed to fire on one side with furnace temperatures following the requirements of ISO 834. The experimental results indicated the charring depth decreased as moisture content increased from 6% to 18%. Due to the thermal insulation of the char layer of bamboo scrimber, the charring rate decreased non‐linearly as the fire exposure time increased from 10 to 40 minutes. The charring rate of bamboo scrimber parallel to grain was approximately 1.23 times that perpendicular to grain. The non‐linear equation to express the charring rate of bamboo scrimber with moisture content, exposure time, and grain direction was established by regression analysis of the test data. The temperature of the char front was approximately 280°C, determined by heat transfer analysis of the 3‐dimensional finite element method model. Compared with different timber species in the literature and in standards, bamboo scrimber has better fire performance and a lower charring rate.

“…They concluded that the density had a significant influence on the mechanical and water absorption properties of bamboo scrimber. Yu et al [8] investigated the use of bamboo as a promising raw material for fabricating bamboo scrimbers. Their study aimed to determine the water absorption, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimbers with different weight percentages of phenol formaldehyde resin and different heat treatments of bamboo bundles.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of media treatments on color changes, dimensional stability, and cracking behavior of bamboo scrimber, which has many applications in construction. The bamboo scrimber specimens comprised bamboo bundles with a low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde resin which were manufactured via a cold-in and cold-out hot-pressing process. Small clear specimens were sampled and treated under ten different conditions: water immersion at 25°C, 63°C, and 100°C; oil immersion at 100°C and 150°C; air drying at 63°C, 100°C, and 150°C; and infrared drying at 100°C and 150°C. Then, tests were conducted to determine the color changes, dimensional stability, and cracking behavior of the bamboo scrimbers. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber specimens became darker after all treatment conditions, especially the oil treatments and infrared drying. The color of the oil-treated bamboo scrimbers was found to be more homogenous than the others. The dimensional stability of the bamboo scrimbers was more or less influenced by the water treatments, air drying, and infrared drying, and the oil-treated bamboo scrimbers were relatively stable. Moreover, during the 4-hour treatments, cracks were found in the bamboo scrimbers after air drying at 150°C or infrared drying at 100°C or 150°C.
