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

4. 2. Tribology of hot forming tool and high strength steels

   Author : Jens Hardell; Robert J. K. Wood; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

   Abstract : Tribological research pertaining to moving machine components operating at elevated temperatures has so far received only limited attention despite the fact that many technological applications encounter high-temperature conditions. Examples of such applications can be commonly found in the aerospace, power generation and hot metal working industries. READ MORE

5. 3. Enhancing UV-protection of clear coated wood by utilizing reactive UV-absorber and epoxyfunctionalized soybean oil

   Author : Sara Olsson; Mats KG Johansson; Emma Östmark; Mats Westin; Philip Evans; Minna Hakkarainen; Peter Weissenborn; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; UV-protaction; wood; clear coating; UV absorber; epoxy functionalized soybean oil; grafting;

   Abstract : This work presents the development of a new pretreatment for clear coated wood, that aims to increase the photoprotection of exterior wood products, and at the same time make the system more environmentally friendly. The pretreatment comprises the reactive UV absorber 2-hydroxy-4(2,3-epoxy­propoxy)-benzophenone (HEPBP), which has a primary epoxy group that can be covalently attached to the hydroxyl groups of the wood substrate.

   Abstract : Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues in today’s world. Addressing this problem calls for the development of environmentally friendly alternatives that would reduce the amount of persistent plastic waste. READ MORE

7. 5. Wood-Based Nanocellulose In Lithium Ion Batteries and Electrochemical Coatings

   Author : Hyeyun Kim; Ann M. Cornell; Davide Beneventi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanofibers; lithium ion battery; separator; electro-precipitation; hydrogel; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Lithium ion batteries contain diverse functional polymeric materials, e.g. binders and separators. Naturally self-assembled wood cellulose can be disintegrated to nanosized particles with a diversity of morphology by top-down processes, adjusting the manufacturing parameters. READ MORE
