Different approaches are used to study wood provenance, but most of them are based on
tracers in wood that are generally controlled by climatic factors. The strontium isotopic ratio …

Aerogels can be used in a broad range of applications such as bioscaffolds, energy storage
devices, sensors, pollutant treatment, and thermal insulating materials due to their excellent …

Thermal modification of wood causes chemical changes that significantly affect the physical,
mechanical and biological properties of wood; thus, it is essential to investigate these …

Vibratory ball milling is shown to have a strong influence on the shape of FT-IR spectra of
wood and cellulose, even if the samples are milled for only a short time. The results show …
