One of important equipment in reforestation or tree planting is a pot for mulching tree saplings. Originally pots were made of clay but they were too strong. When the trees grow up the pots must be smashed in order to let the roots and the stems grow up. Plastic pots are a popular alternative to be potted tree saplings due to their longer usability flexibility keeping and easy cleaning. In addition they are light and easy to move or transport. Typical pots usually have holes at the bottom which make poor ventilation that caused the slow tree saplings growth. Pots with holes in the side let the air comfortably flow and the roots do not go to the bottom of the pot. When the pots are moved the tree sapling roots are not ragged this help reducing the mortality rate of tree saplings. To Construct and find out the efficiency of plastic pot injection molded with 7.7 cm. in size 8 cm. high 0.10 cm. thick and the weight of 20 grams in the specification form the work-piece can be injected. For Construction and finding out the efficiency of holes for putting the plastic pot injection molded with 41 cm. wide 51 cm.long0.20 cm. thick and the weight of 330 grams in the specification form every work piece can be injected. There are 18holes for putting the plastic pot and all 18 holes are in the same size. Asst. Prof. Prasong KanKaew

The research was to develop environmental packaging from composite materials hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber for temperature preservation to replace the use of foam packaging that cannot be degraded naturally. In the composite materials water hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratios 7: 1: 2 1 : 1 : 2 and 1: 1: 1 were extruded by heat using isocyanate glue as a solder and testing the physical and biological properties of composite materials as fiberboard. For testing of temperature preservation of the bio packaging heat transfer test to obtain the bio-packaging for the environment the composite materials of fiber water hyacinth rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratio of 7 : 1 : 2 was the most appropriate type. Since it had a density of 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter strength of 26.76 MPa moisture content of 3.8 percent ages and swelling of 26.63 percent ages. In dry condition at room temperature it could store heat for 2 hours and could retain the cold temperature as shown for the temperatures rising from 4 to 30.7 degree Celsius within 2 hours. This research therefore presents a new alternative method of natural fiber composite materials application for temperature preservation in order to reduce the use of foam containers and increase cost value to natural bio waste materials.

The purposes of the study was to study the convenience store image consumers’ satisfaction and loyalty which was differentiated by demographic characteristics and to study relationship between convenience store image and consumers satisfaction and loyalty. The questionnaire was applied as a research tool. The population in this study were 384 consumers of 108 CP Fresh Mart stores in the Bangkok metropolitan area. The statistics used were Percentage Mean Standard deviation t-test one-way ANOVA and Pearsons correlation coefficient at statistical significance level of 0.05. The research result revealed demographic factors regarding consumers who shopped at CP Fresh Mart with different genders ages education levels average monthly income and the frequency of the use of service were dissimilar in terms of the consumer image consumer satisfaction and customer loyalty at the 0.05 level of significance. The convenience store image was positively correlated with the consumers’ satisfaction and loyalty statistically significant at the 0.01 level.

Recently the Thai industry has continually grown up and also plays a role to economic growth in the country which affects the many of automotive components to be in the market. While the degeneration and waste of automotive components had increased as well. Therefore a car hood is one of the automotive parts which damage from the accident. Consequently the researchers have created a prototype material to develop into the car hood which made from the husk and water hyacinth. The random mixture of water hyacinth and husk was attempted to more than 3 ingredients. By forming a flat plate with thickness between 1 to 3 millimeters was used as prototype of the car hood material in this research. Thus the mechanical properties such as compressing and bending test were attempted to by the universal testing machine. The results showed that using resin as a binder material (Reinforced resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the less ability of energy absorption. While using polymers as a binder (Polymer resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the better ability of energy absorption. The properly mixture between water hyacinth and husk referred to the energy absorbing properties is 50:50 because the least linear stiffness is 1.087 N/mm. Besides the ability of energy absorption is 1612444 J/m3 which is property of this ingredient can reduce the severity of the impact in the event of pedestrians collision in the best.

Aluminum is a lightweight material which are popularly used in various parts of the industry. However there are some limitations on the tribological properties such as abrasive wear and friction when it was compared to other metals. Tribological properties of aluminium was improved with anodizing process and silicon dioxide supplement. the effect of time on surface structure and friction coefficient were studied with with scanning electron microscope and sliding wear tester. It was found that friction coefficient of aluminium was decreased after improvement process was applied.
