This work briefly reviews the research milestones in the area of wood chemical modification,
focusing on acetylated and furfurylated wood which have been scaled up, and exploits the …

This paper reviews recent results in the field of chemical modification of wood with linear
chain anhydrides. Though the main focus is on work performed by the author, this is …

Abstract Development of environmentally friendly particleboard made from sweet sorghum
bagasse and citric acid has recently attracted attention. In this study, we investigated the …

The aim of this paper was to improve the fire retardancy of beech wood by graphene. Six fire
properties, namely time to onset of ignition, time to onset of glowing, back-darkening time …

Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins are primary petroleum-based, increasing their potential
environmental footprint. Identifying additives to reduce the total amount of resin needed …

An issue in engineered wood products, like oriented strand lumber (OSL), is the low thermal
conductivity coefficient of raw material, preventing the fast transfer of heat into the core of …

The present study was carried out primarily to investigate the fire properties of particleboards
with 5% and 10% feather content. With regard to the flammability of chicken feathers …

Physical, mechanical and morphological properties of chemically modified Acaciamangium
and Acacia hybrid woods were investigated after weathering. The wood blocks prepared …

The work described in this paper demonstrated that acetylation of pine wood up to 16.4
weight percent gain has a positive effect on the compression strength. Higher modification …

In this research, acetylated wood (Accoya) was tested in ground contact in central Greece.
After ten years of exposure during a ground stake test, acetylated pine wood (Pinus radiata) …
