Description
Summary:The impacts of plasticizers on the human become a controversial topic, avoiding the effects of plasticization is one of the demands of wood barrel design. Through the green design and the bentwood forming skill, we consider the environmental factors in the design stage. By collaborating with bentwood manufacturers, we emphasizing on humidity and insect prevention and design bentwood rice barrel for the small household. The proposed rice barrels have the following features: using of green materials, reducing the environmental impact of processing, providing options for appropriate size by modular design. During humidity test, a curled wood and an equivalent plastic rice barrel were chosen and checked their difference on humidity absorption. High relative humidity (65%) was observed within the plastic barrel. The absorption performance of bulk wood is better than that of plywood. Based on measurements, we will refine design by combining the advantages of materials in future.
