  2. 1. Coated Norway Spruce : Influence of Wood Characteristics on Water Sorption and Coating Durability

    Author : Tinh Sjökvist; Åsa Blom; Carsten Mai; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Heartwood; Sapwood; Wood extractives; Moisture content; Paint; Alkyd; Acrylic; Linseed oil; Calcimine paint; Mould; Fungi; Algae; Weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Wood used outdoors is often degraded and discoloured by microorganisms as a natural part of its life cycle, particularly when exposed to high levels of moisture for prolonged times. In this case, the application of a coating (i.e. paint) is an option for increasing the service life of the wood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Water resistance of Scots pine joints produced by linear friction welding

    Author : Mojgan Vaziri; Lars-Olof Nilsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wood; wood welding; crack; CT scanning; image processing; MRI; microdensitometry; CPMAS C NMR; density; water absorption; tensile-shear strength; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

    Abstract : Wood welding is a mechanical friction process allowing the assembly of timber without any adhesives. The process consists of applying mechanical friction, under pressure, alternately to the two wood surfaces to be welded. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effectiveness and Evaluation of Wood Protection against Biological Deterioration Caused by Filamentous Fungi

    Author : Olena Myronycheva; Olov Karlsson; Lone Ross; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Developing a holistic understanding of the biological deterioration of wooden material by fungi in the laboratory and outdoor conditions requires the development of new assessment procedures and tools that allow describing the process with maximum precision and accuracy. Environmental biodeterioration is a complex process including a combination of physical, chemical and biological changes, with many uncertainties limiting the predictability and effectiveness of selected preservatives after laboratory tests.

  7. 5. Quantitative genetics of wood quality traits in Scots pine

    Author : Irena Fundová; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wood quality of commercial tree species is important for many wood processingindustries and thus should be considered for inclusion in forest tree improvementprograms. This thesis evaluated the suitability of various proxy methods for rapid andnon-destructive assessment of wood quality traits on standing trees of Scots pine and thepotential for genetic improvement of different wood quality traits through recurrentselective breeding.
