  • Topological Interlocking and Geometric Stiffening As Complementary Strategies for Strong Plant Shells

Antreich, Jakob Bachmayr, Nannan Xiao, Michaela Eder, Johannes Konnerth, and Notburga Gierlinger* in the process of fruit wall (pericarp) and Many organisms encapsulate their embryos in hard, protective shells. While seed coat (testa) formation, where they birds and reptiles largely rely on mineralized shells, plants often develop serve as protective covers for the delicate highly robust lignocellulosic shells.

  • Study of Almond Shell Characteristics
    materials Article Study of Almond Shell Characteristics Xuemin Li, Yinan Liu, Jianxiu Hao and Weihong Wang * Key Laboratory of Bio-based Material Science & Technology (Education Ministry), Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China; [email protected] (X.L.); [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (J.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 August 2018; Accepted: 12 September 2018; Published: 19 September 2018 Abstract: A large amount of almond shells are disposed of every year. The anatomical and chemical characteristics of almond shells are investigated in this paper in order to contribute to better utilization of these shells. The micromorphology, surface elements, thermal stability, crystallization, chemical composition, and relative properties of almond shells are analyzed. Under observation by microscope and electron microscope, the diameter of almond shells is 300–500 µm for large holes, and 40–60 µm for small holes present in the shell. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows the elements of almond shells include C (72.27%), O (22.88%), N (3.87%), and Si (0.87%). The main chemical constituents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in almond shells account for 38.48%, 28.82% and 29.54%, respectively. The alkaline extract content of almond shells is 14.03%, and benzene alcohol extraction is 8.00%. The benzene alcohol extractives of almond shells mainly contain 17 types of organic compound, including benzene ring, ethylene, carbon three bond, and other mufti-functional groups. Thermal stability analysis shows almond shells mainly lose weight at 260 ◦C and 335 ◦C. These characteristics indicate that almond shells have the capacity to be used in composites and absorption materials.

  • Walnut and Hazelnut Shells: Untapped Industrial Resources and Their Suitability in Lignocellulosic Composites

Eroilor nr.29, 500036 Brasov, Romania * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 August 2020; Accepted: 10 September 2020; Published: 11 September 2020 Abstract: Walnut and hazelnut shells are agricultural by-products, available in high quantities during the harvest season. The potential of using these two agricultural residues as raw materials in particleboard production has been evaluated in this study. Different panels with either walnut or hazelnut shells in combination with melamine-urea formaldehyde or polyurethane at the same level of 1000 kg/m3 density were produced in a laboratory hot press and mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, bending strength, and Brinell hardness) and physical properties (thickness swelling and water absorption) were determined, together with formaldehyde content. Although Brinell hardness was 35% to 65% higher for the nutshell-based panels, bending strength and modulus of elasticity were 40% to 50% lower for the melamine-urea formaldehyde bonded nutshells compared to spruce particleboards, but was 65% higher in the case of using polyurethane. Water absorption and thickness swelling could be reduced significantly for the nutshell-based boards compared to the spruce boards (the values recorded ranged between 58% to 87% lower as for the particleboards).
