Fungal and enzymatic pre-treatments have long been used to activate the surface of
lignocellulosic biomass particles or fibers to promote adhesion or develop novel composite …

The present study is about the enzymatic modification of thermomechanical pulp (TMP)
fibers for reduction of water uptake and their use in bio-based filaments for 3D printing …

Resins based on so‐called condensed tannins have been in industrial use for nearly 50
years as replacement for phenolic resins for wood based panels with high resistance …

The demand for fiberboards has been growing in recent years. However, emission of
formaldehyde, which was the main component of adhesives in fiberboards, has caused …

The production of fiberboard, particleboard, and related hot-pressed biomass products can
convert small, relatively low-valued pieces of wood into valuable products. There is strong …

Two different series of biobased polyethylene (BioPE) were used for the manufacturing of
biocomposites, complemented with thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibers. The intrinsic …

Laccase‐mediated grafting on lignocelluloses has gained considerable attention as an
environmentally benign method to covalently modify wood, paper and cork. In recent …

As the worldwide demand for fuels and materials increases, fossil resources are decreasing
and global warming is a concern, and thus the need for alternative solutions is high. In the …
