Strength bending

Specifications, Standards, Quality Control, and Health and Safety Factors. Formerly, there was an Insulation Board Institute representing the insulation board industry, but the decline in the market and number of producers has led to its demise. Currently (ca 1997), the industry is represented by the American Hardboard Association (AHA). Specifications and standards are found in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for CellulosicFiberboard (7). The standard includes descriptions of the various types and classes of ftberboard, as well as requirements for physical and dimensional stabiUty properties. QuaUty control tests are limited to a few basic strength and stabiUty tests, including bending strength, bond strength, and moisture resistance.

Whilst nylon 66 has the higher T , the long-term heat resistance of typical copper-stabilised nylon 6 is somewhat superior in such properties as impact strength and bending strength compared to nylon 66. However, it is frequently the case that nylon 66 has better resistance to chemicals at elevated temperatures.

The first reported study of a reaction of wood with an epoxide appears to be that of McMillan (1963). This involved the use of gaseous ethylene oxide (Figure 4.9, R=H) at a temperature of 93 °C and a pressure of 3 atmospheres (0.3 MPa). In some cases, the wood was diffusion pre-treated with trimethylamine vapour as the catalyst. A 65 % ASE at 20 % WPG was obtained, attributed to a bulking effect due to in situ polymerization of the epoxide. There was no effect on the static bending strength of samples, and the modified wood became distinctly brown at higher levels of treatment. 

Unlike MOE, there does not appear to be any increase in MOR when wood is subjected to thermal treatment, even for short time periods (Figure 5.7). This is because MOR is actually the equivalent stress in fibres at the point of failure and, as such, is related to the ultimate bending strength of the wood (Dinwoodie, 2000).

Measuring the bending strength of a fiber—in effect, quantifying its flexibility—is a more complicated procedure. One side of the curve is under tension and the opposite side under compression (Evans, 1972). The reactions of a particular fibrous solid nevertheless depend on the material s chemical...
