Understanding why wood bonds fail is an excellent route toward understanding how to
make them better. Certifying a bonded product usually requires achieving a specific load …

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 …

This paper presents the state of the art of different wood densification processes as one
emerging process technology. The main principles for the processes are discussed, such as …

Adhesive bonding is the key factor in how to utilize wood material for the production of
increased-value wood products. Manufacturing wood-based composites depends on …

Wood is increasingly replacing concrete to reduce CO2 emissions in buildings, but fossil-
based adhesives are still being used in wood panels. Epoxidized lignin adhesives could be …

The viscoelastic thermal compression (VTC) of low-density hybrid poplar (Populus
deltoides× Populus trichocarpa) from fast growing trees was performed in order to produce …

The paper treats the processes involved in wood densification and provides a summary of
the state-of-the-art, as presented in the literature, with regard to densification as achieved by …

A test equipment was developed, which allows for real time observation of the deformation
behavior of wood cellular structure under a compression load applied in radial direction …

The deformation behavior of low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin-
impregnated wood under compression in the radial direction was investigated for obtaining …

As demand grows to replace petroleum-derived materials with more environmentally friendly
materials, the use of wood in high-performance applications in the automotive industry has …
