| description | This study presents the results of a comprehensive investigation of a wooden rice bucket made in the 1860s. Macroscopy aspects and microscopic structure were conducted to identify the wood species. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also adopted to investigate the degradation degree of the rice bucket compared with a new wood sample from the same species. The results of the microscopic identification concluded that the rice bucket was made of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata). The XRD pattern indicated that the crystallinity degree of cellulose in the wooden rice bucket decreased to 33.2% from 38.8% (new wood). The FTIR spectra revealed that natural ageing resulted in the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, and the change of lignin was not obvious. |
