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 …

In the last few decades, micro-and nanomechanical methods have become increasingly
important analytical techniques to gain deeper insight into the nanostructure and …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

This review describes methods and results of studying the mechanical properties of wood at
all scales: from nano-to macro-scale. The connection between the mechanical properties of …

The properties of wood and wood-based materials are strongly dependent on the properties
of the fibres, that is, the cell wall properties. It is thus highly important to be able to …

This chapter describes the basic physical properties of wood and wood-based materials
such as density, thermal properties, electrical properties, friction, optical properties …

For wood and forest products to reach their full potential as structural materials, experimental
techniques are needed to measure mechanical properties across all length scales …

Thermochemical conversion of biomass via fast pyrolysis is a proven pathway to product low-
carbon crude bio-oils. In this research, an extended discrete element method (DEM) is …

The in situ imaging nanoindentation technique was used to investigate how the moisture
content (MC) affects the longitudinal mechanical properties of Masson pine cell wall …

Archaeological wood is a kind of 'new material'that has deteriorated due to long-term
degradation. The existing wood science theory and evaluation methods are not fully …
