Lathe check interval and depth are critical parameters that significantly influence the mechanical performance of plywood (Rohumaa et al., 2013). Although recent methods have improved the measurement of lathe check …
Wood finishing using natural dyes is gaining increasing attention due to growing interest in sustainable materials and eco-friendly processing. Poplar (Populus sp.), as a widely used light-coloured and absorbent wood …
Increasing environmental awareness and the carbon-storing capability of wood have amplified its relevance as a building material. The demand for high-quality wood species necessitates exploring alternative, underutilized wood sources due …
Lightweight structures as sandwich panels are one of the innovation products to drive the future of the wood/plywood industry for the near future. Material consumption, thus environmental impact, is the …
Impregnating an aniline monomer solution into wood and reacting polyaniline particles in-situ, in order to take advantage of the complex and robust structure of wood, has been investigated to a …
Plywood is commonly produced from rotary-cut veneers that are cross-laminated after adhesive spreading, then cold-pressed and finally hot-pressed. However, there is a less known way to manufacture plywood without any …
Wettability studies on Scots pine veneers were done by using Wilhelmy plate method. The probe liquids were water and octane as swellable and non-swellable liquids, respectively. Novel approaches based on …
A major problem in the manufacture of three-dimensional laminated veneer products is damage due to stretching and/or buckling of the veneer. To reduce or eliminate this problem a modification of …
In the present study, hydrothermal modification of birch veneer was carried out in a WTT experimental laboratory device in a water vapour medium, under elevated pressure conditions. Of the investigation …
Wood bonding with adhesives is a vast industry and business, and the market of wood adhesives was some 2 million tons in 2015 (Anon., 2015). The current main stream of …
The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of potential fire retardant chemicals on veneer properties. Flammability is a great disadvantage of wood material in construction, but it …
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thermal modification on birch veneer properties relevant in plywood manufacture. The wood material used in this study was a …
The growing demand for renewable raw materials, climate change and the sustainability of the circular economy force manufacturers to explore the use of new and underutilized wood species in wood …
As most plywood in Northern Europe is produced from either birch or different softwoods, or a combination of them, there is an interest to research other wood species for plywood …
Plywood is one of the most widely used wood-based product in the world and mainly produced from silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) tree. It is constructed by combining layers of …
