Wood is an ideal building material as it is renewable and green. However, low dimensional
stability and durability might restrict its usage in structural application. Therefore …

Bamboo is an abundant, sustainable resource in the tropics and subtropics. Owing to faster
growth, shorter rotation and higher mechanical strength compared with other species …

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the
last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due …

The objective of this paper is to review the published literature on improving properties of
wood composites through thermal pretreatment of wood. Thermal pretreatment has been …

The hierarchical, porous, and macromolecular structures of woods provide opportunities for
them to be modified and processed into structural, functional, and multi-functional materials …

In this study, mechanical fluffing, thermal treatment, and phenol formaldehyde (PF)
impregnation, as well as cold-in and cold-out hot-pressing processes, were used to fabricate …

Bamboo has attracted much attention and gained economic and environmental values for its
excellent properties such as fast growth, short rotation, sustainability, and high strength. One …

This paper comprehensively reviews the relevant literature and presents the methods and
processes used to investigate the dimensional stabilization of wood using various …

As a renewable and low-price material, wood has been used extensively in the construction,
furniture and other fields. However, the mechanical strength of most wood species is …

In the sixth IPCC assessment report, it is recommended to decarbonize the economy to
avoid a global average temperature increase of 1.5° C by 2100 and some of the most …
