  1. 1. Industrial Requirements for Cross-Laminated Timber Manufacturing

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Matilda Torneport; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross-laminated timber; CLT industry; Wood species; Adhesive; Strength class; Timber grades;

    Abstract : Wood is a valuable sustainable material that meets the requirements for structural application. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood-based product that is mainly used in the building industry. Due to the rapid global market increase, a number of new CLT plants are emerging worldwide and thereby a need for standardisation is more than ever. READ MORE

  3. 2. Finger-jointing of acetylated Scots pine using a conventional MUF resin

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Christian Wincrantz; [2018]
    Keywords : Acetylated wood; Scots pine; juvenile wood; finger-jointing; mechanical properties modulus of rupture.;

    Abstract : Acetylation of wood is a modification technique that chemically alters the wood substance and enhances several properties of wood. The basic principle is to impregnate wood with acetic anhydride to react and replace OH-groups with acetyl groups in the wood cell wall. READ MORE

  4. 3. Bending properties of commercial wood-based panels by NDT methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Francesco Poggi; [2017]
    Keywords : Wood-based panels; Non-destructive testing; Bending properties; Resonance vibration; Time-of-flight; Modulus of elasticity; Modulus of rupture; Stress wave velocity; Relative humidity.;

    Abstract : This thesis work focuses mainly on the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods on wood-based panels (WBP) in order to estimate the bending properties. To prove the accuracy and applicability of these methods on WBP, their results are correlated with results from a standardized static bending test. READ MORE

  5. 4. Epoxidised linseed oil as hydrophobic substance for wood protection : technology of treatment and properties of modified wood

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Products

    Author : Victor Fernández-Cano; [2013]
    Keywords : dimensional stability; epoxidised linseed oil; FT-IR spectroscopy; impregnation; leaching; linseed oil; mechanical properties; modified wood; Scots pine sapwood; two-step process;

    Abstract : Public concern about the release of toxic compounds from wood-based products drives legislation towards enforcing industries to find and use more sustainable solutions for wood treatment. Plant oils are good alternatives to treat wood, minimizing or even neutralizing the impact on the environment. READ MORE
