Evidence Details
Microwave-method evidence: source values include 100°C, 5 min, 7.5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min.
Microwave-method evidence: source values include 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, 15 min.
Curing degree results showed that microwave was a fast and efficient curing method, which could reduce curing time by 50%. Bamboo compression shear strength results indicated that the sample cured at 100 °C for 10 min would reach its optimum mechanical performance. Higher curing temperature (110 °C) caused carbonization in bamboo, which would weaken mechanic...
The preliminary experiment results indicate that microwave can improve the efficiency of phenolic resin curing. As shown in Fig. 2, curing time can be reduced by about 50% by microwave method. For example, after 15 min microwave curing, the curing degree of phenolic resin is 94.2%. However, it will take 30 min for thermal curing to get production with simila...
Microwave-method evidence: source values include 50%, 4fold, 100°C.
