2. 1. Sustainable synthetic pathways towards the formation of bio-based polymeric materials

   Author : Susana Torrón; Mats Johansson; Dean Webster; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bio-based; polymers; materials; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Increasing environmental and social awareness arising from the use of oil as main source of raw materials, has awaken the interest of many scientists to explore new synthetic pathways for polymer production. These new approaches embrace the use of alternative feedstock and sustainable synthetic routes aiming for enhancing biodegradability and recyclability. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards low-emitting and sustainable particle and fibreboards : Formaldehyde emission test methods and adhesives from biorefinery lignins

   Author : Venla Hemmilä; Stergios Adamopoulos; Luísa Maria Hora Carvalho; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wood board industry; chamber methods; dynamic microchamber DMC ; bio-based adhesives; lignosulfonates; supercritical water hydrolyzed lignin; crosslinkers; fibreboards; particleboards; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : High volumes, fast production speed, and low material costs have been historically the driving factors of the particle- and fibreboard industries. However, in recent years the fossil-fuel dependency and health issues of the formaldehyde-containing adhesives used in the production have gained attention from both legislators and consumers.

5. 3. Polysaccharide-based wood adhesives

   Author : Tijana Todorovic; Eva Malmström; Linda Fogelström; Johannes Konnerth; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : It is highly desirable to increase the use of renewable resources and reduce fossil-dependence due to sustainability concerns. As a consequence, it is expected that the use of the wood-based materials will increase in the future. Therefore, adhesives will have an important role since they allow for the use of lower-quality and recycled wood. READ MORE

6. 4. Hemicelluloses and other Polysaccharides for Wood Adhesive Applications

   Author : Emelie Norström; Eva Malmström; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The growing environmental awareness has led to an increased interest in bio-based polymers as replacement for fossil-based materials. The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the possibility of using hemicelluloses and other polysaccharides as replacement for fossil-based polymers in wood adhesives.

7. 5. Agro-industry feedstock and side stream materials for wood panel manufacturing

   Author : Nicolas Neitzel; Stergios Adamopoulos; Reza Hosseinpourpia; Thomas Walter; Heiko Thömen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood-based panels are indispensable in many areas, such as the construction industry and furniture production. The intensified demand for renewable materials, rising wood prices and increasing protection zones of forest areas make the wood panel industry consider alternative raw materials. READ MORE
