The positive relationship between wood density and mechanical properties drives interest in compression techniques. A significant challenge in this practice is the tendency of compressed wood to revert to its …
Lately, especially in terms of ecology, felt a great need to expand the uses of wood. However, it is limited by the small wood resistance to UV rays and moisture. …
Lignin has been studied as an adhesive for more than 100 years, but there are only a few industrial applications. The reason for the current interest is the high availability …
False heartwood is a phenomenon where penetration of oxygen discolors the wood. It is an undesirable defect which influences the applications of the wood. The properties and formation of false …
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 …
Through transverse compression of wood, the density of the material is increased, improving some mechanical properties, such as hardness and abrasion resistance. This work presents the first results of a …
