A method for manufacturing a transparent heat-insulation building material from waste wood is provided. The method includes the following steps of: step S1, wood pretreatment, drying immersing, heating, adding a complexing agent solution, stirring, then drying the wood; step S2, wood acetylation treatment, loading the wood into a pressure vessel, adding acetylation fluid, reducing the pressure, and then pressurizing and raising a temperature; step S3, resin impregnating, adding a methyl methacrylate monomer solution and heating it, adding the methyl methacrylate monomer and benzoyl peroxide, bleaching the wood by hydrogen peroxide, and placing them in a vacuum permeator to allow the prepolymer liquid to penetrate into the wood and collecting the prepolymer liquid; and step S4, hot press molding polymerizing the wood in an oven and sleeving it into a heat press molding to obtain a densified wood.

A device and a method for specifically influencing the technological properties of individual regions of a sheet-like material are provided, including the following steps: a) fixing the sheet-like material or a pre-compacted material nonwoven or a material fibre cake on a workbench, b) placing at least one applicator on the upper side and/or the underside of the sheet-like material, the material nonwoven or the material fibre cake, c) specifically moving the at least one applicator on the upper side and/or the underside and pressing an improving medium into partial regions of the sheet-like material, the material nonwoven or the material fibre cake in a predetermined amount and under a predetermined pressure, d) optionally, subsequently pressing the pre-compacted material nonwoven or the material fibre cake to form a sheet of the desired thickness.

A wood treatment apparatus for long-term treatment of wood has a cylindrical hollow body and a sleeve. The cylindrical hollow body has an inner end, during use located within the wood, an outer end, directed away from the inner end, an exit opening and an accommodating space accommodating a carrier material containing active wood-treatment substance. The sleeve is arranged around the cylindrical hollow body and, when the apparatus is not in use, closes the exit opening and, when the apparatus is used, frees the exit opening and brings the accommodating space into contact with the wood. The method provides driving the apparatus into the wood to position the exit opening near a site to be treated and displacing the sleeve to bring the accommodating space into contact with the wood, wherein the apparatus remains in the wood to allow the wood-treatment substance to be released pressureless into the wood.

A wood-treatment device may provide controlled release of a wood treatment agent, such as a fumigant, when placed into standard bored treatment holes in wood structural members. Fumigant release may be controlled by releasing the fumigant through a controlled-release component that may be in a neck of the container or in a passageway of a cap assembly. The cap assembly may include an extension that dislodges the controlled-release component when placed on an open end of the container or has a needle that punctures a seal covering a container opening. The container may have ends configured to be engaged by an adapter used to manipulate the container in a bored hole. The adapter may clip onto a neck of the container, have flanges to seal a bored hole when inserted therein, and have a distal end with an opening configured for engagement and manipulation by an external tool.

Disclosed is the integration of the production of acetic anhydride from ketene, and the acetylation of wood using acetylation fluid comprising acetic acid and acetic anhydride. The invention involves directly using raw acetic anhydride as obtained in the production thereof from ketene, as a wood acetylation fluid.

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to methods and systems for impregnating wood with a polymer solution and products thereof. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of processing a wood piece to generate a wood product, the method comprising: (a) placing the wood piece into a reactor having a chamber pressure of a vacuum environment; (b) exposing the wood piece to a polymer solution; (c) performing an iterative process where each cycle of the iterative process comprises a pressurizing period during which the chamber pressure is increased to an increased chamber pressure and a stabilizing period during which the chamber pressure is monitored to measure a chamber pressure decrease, if any; (d) when the decrease of chamber pressure during the stabilizing period is less than or equal to the certain threshold change, normalizing the reactor chamber to a normalized pressure; and (e) setting the wood piece to generate the wood product. The present disclosure further relates to a wood product generated by a method of processing a wood piece.

A method of creating a wood-based false stone for producing unique decorative cutouts and jewelry includes collecting a plurality of stems from a plant, cutting each of the plurality of stems to a uniform length, and debarking each of the plurality of stems. The debarked plurality of stems is then dyed, dried completely, and saturated with a resin. The saturated plurality of stems is placed in a mold and compressed. The compressed plurality of stems is removed from the mold and cut into a plurality of slices, each of which is in turn shaped into a plurality of cutouts.
