1. Engineering of lignin in wood towards functional materials
Abstract : Through 270 million years of evolution, the finely tuned hierarchical structure of wood has been optimized for efficient nutrient transport and exceptional mechanical stability. Its distinctive orthotropic constitution can provide inspiration and design opportunities for the development of novel functional materials. READ MORE

4. Wood fiber composites : processing, structure and properties
Abstract : The goal of this work has been to investigate how to make wood polymer composite materials with good mechanical properties, which also could be tailored for different applications. The fundamental idea behind the work was that good mechanical properties of the composite material require that the stiffness and strength of the wood cell wall material are really utilized.
