This study investigates the possibility of using agro-industrial wastes for building products,
mainly focusing on their insulation properties. A classification of bio-wastes is provided …

Citric acid (CA) can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit. CA is
widely used in many fields but its usage as a green modifying agent and binder for wood is …

In this study, modification of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica) through in situ
esterification of sorbitol and citric acid (SorCA) was investigated at two curing temperatures …

The effect of environmentally friendly treatment using citric acid and boron compounds on
the physical-chemical and mechanical properties and thermal degradation of D. asper …

The development of wood treatments is of increasing industrial importance. A novel
technique for improving the properties of lodgepole pine and white pine through …

The bark of trees is an abundant material for chemical by-products. The combination effects
of different concentrations of Acer saccharum var. saccharum inner (IB) and outer (OB) bark …

Wood surface modification is a comprehensive concept which, in time, turned out to be as
successful as challenging when it comes to improve the resistance of wood during its life …

Novel approaches for a non-toxic protection of timber have been investigated and referred to
as “wood modification”. Especially, chemical impregnation modifications show promising …

The goal of the present study was to develop a low-density thermal insulation board using
wood fibers and a bio-based adhesive as a binder, which was prepared from a crude …

This study investigated the effects of different citric acid content on the physico-mechanical
and biological durability of rubberwood particleboard. Particleboards with density of 700 …
