Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) biocomposite films reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils
(CNF) and biologically active tannic acid (TA) were prepared. The influence of different …

Wood is one of the most fully renewable building materials, so wood instead of non-
renewable materials produced from organic energy sources significantly reduces the …

Wood coatings prolong the service life of wood-based products, but they are usually of
synthetic origin. The aim of the present article is to reduce the fossil-based compounds in a …

This study aimed to investigate the potential of converting bio-based residues from industrial
production of mushrooms and tomatoes into more valuable chemicals with antifungal …

The chemical composition of extractives in the sapwood (SW), heartwood (HW), knotwood
(KW), and branchwood (BW of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) was analyzed, and their antifungal …
