A super strong and tough densified wood structure is formed by subjecting a cellulose-based natural wood material to a chemical treatment that partially removes lignin therefrom. The treated wood retains lumina of the natural wood, with cellulose nanofibers of cell walls being aligned. The treated wood is then pressed in a direction crossing the direction in which the lumina extend, such that the lumina collapse and any residual fluid within the wood is removed. As a result, the cell walls become entangled and hydrogen bonds are formed between adjacent cellulose nanofibers, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the wood among other mechanical properties. By further modifying, manipulating, or machining the densified wood, it can be adapted to various applications.

The present disclosure relates to the field of perfumery. In particular, the present disclosure provides fragrance dispensing emanating substrate and related methods for dispensing fragrance oil or liquid fragrance material into an ambient environment.

Disclosed is a bamboo strip shaping method, which includes the following steps: S01: cutting a bamboo tube, and removing inner joints, outer joints and bamboo outer skin; S02: trisecting or quartering the bamboo tube in a longitudinal direction to obtain curved bamboo strips; S03: placing the curved bamboo strips in a bamboo strip shaping device for processing; S04: subjecting the curved bamboo strips to steam treatment and heating softening treatment; S05: pressing and shaping the curved bamboo strips to obtain flattened bamboo strips, and drying for a first time under a maintained pressure; S06: wetting bamboo outer skin surfaces and bamboo inner skin surfaces of the flattened bamboo strips, and drying for a second time; and S07: wetting the bamboo outer skin surfaces and the bamboo inner skin surfaces of the flattened bamboo strips, and drying for a third time.

In some examples, a method of manufacturing a densified wood transaction instrument includes boiling a sheet of wood in a chemical solution, compressing the boiled sheet of wood using a die in a press to form one or more features in the sheet of wood, during the compressing of the boiled sheet of wood, heating the boiled sheet of wood to create a sheet of densified wood, and attaching one or more payment elements to at least one of the one or more features formed in the sheet of densified wood to form a sheet of one or more densified wood transaction instruments.
