The complex structure of wood, one of the most abundant biomaterials on Earth, has been
optimized over 270 million years of tree evolution. This optimization has led to the highly …

In recent times, a clear trend towards the use of biobased materials can be seen in many
areas. Apart from beneficial ecological properties, high strength and stiffness at low weight …

Next-generation electronics (eg., substrate and conductor) need to be high performance,
multifunctional, and environmentally friendly. Here, we report the creation of a fully wood …

Today's materials research aims at excellent mechanical performance in combination with
advanced functionality. In this regard, great progress has been made in tailoring the …

Timber densification is a process that has been around since the early 1900s and is
predominantly used to enhance the structural properties of timber. The process of …

Wood‐derived cellulose materials obtained by structure‐retaining delignification are
attracting increasing attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and great …

Wood has always been used by man for his means of transport. It is only since the beginning

As an alternative to the production of nanofibrillated cellulose based composites (NFC) in
bottom-up processes the functionalization of wood or cellulose scaffold materials in a top …

Delignified wood (DW) represents a promising bio-based fibrous material as a reinforcing
component in high-performance composites. These cellulose composites possess excellent …

This study investigated carbonate pre-treatment of wood followed by densification for
producing advanced wood structural materials. Poplar wood blocks of 100 mm long and 20 …
