Wood is a widely used material in various industries, particularly in construction, where fire resistance is a critical requirement. Enhancing wood’s resistance to fire is essential for improving safety and …
Norway spruce (Picea abies) is widely used not only in Norway but in many other European countries. Due to its refractory behavior after drying it is difficult to impregnate with …
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and especially its heartwood is one of the most common construction materials for general outer use e.g. windows or facades in northern Europe. It is considered …
Stilbenes, phenolic compounds rich in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood, have strong fungicidal properties. We studied the effect of stilbene extract as an impregnant for Scots pine sapwood in …
Anatomical properties affect the permeability of wood and need to be considered when wood is impregnated with wood protection agents. While Scots pine sapwood material is known to be easy …
Wood is used as construction material because it’s strength and aesthetical properties from time immemorial. The shortages in wood application are bio-deterioration and swelling or shrinkage in variable humidity conditions. …
This research project is inspired of a COST Action FP 1303 “Performance of bio-based building materials”. The aim of present performance test was to examine the performance data of Norway …
The decrease of water sorption is one of objectives of wood acetylation (Ac) with acetic anhydride (AA). The water absorption in acetylated wood might be decreased with rapeseed (Brassica napus) …
The aim of the study was to determine the optimal concentration of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) in ethanol solution for the effective wood dimensional stabilization. The object of the study was waterlogged …
Similar to a normal wave, a shock wave travels as energy through matter but it causes an abrupt raise of pressure, temperature and density. In this study the influence of …
Modifications such as methacrylation of wood can be used to improve both wood mechanical properties and durability characteristics. Samples of pine and spruce wood were impregnated under vacuum with methyl …
Forests are an important resource for the production of wood for construction industry. Commonly wood is stripped from bark and an estimated 23 million metric tons of tree bark is …
Microcapsule technology, which is especially used in the production of smart textile products, is a new sector in many respects in our country. Microencapsulation is used in many areas such …
