  2. 1. Surface-modified wood based on silicone nanofilaments for improved liquid repellence

    Author : Haiyan Yin; Magnus Wålinder; Agne Swerin; Andra Dédinaité; Lars Wadsö; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood; acetylated wood; surface modification; superamphiphobicity; superhydrophobicity; plastron; silicone nanofilaments; multicycle Wilhelmy plate method.; Trä; acetylerat trä; ytmodifiering; superamfifobicitet; superhydrofob; plastron; silikon-nanofilament; multicykel Wilhelmy-metod; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : The increasing awareness of sustainability motivates the development of building materials from renewable resources. The requirements of wood-based products with improved durability, for example, an enhanced liquid repellence, is still a challenge. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wettability of modified wood

    Author : Maziar Sedighi Moghaddam; Agne Swerin; M. Per Calessson; E.P. Magnus Wålinder; Callum Hill; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wood; dimensional stability; dynamic wettability; surface chemistry; microstructure; swelling; multicycle Wilhelmy plate method; contact angle; sorption; acetylation; furfurylation; surface modification; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Despite many excellent properties of wood which make it suitable for many applications, it suffers from a number of disadvantages limiting its use. For instance, modification is needed to reduce water sorption and to improve decay resistance, dimensional stability and weathering performance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Surface modification of birch and acetylated birch wood by silicone nanofilaments

    Abstract : The increasing awareness of sustainability motivates the development of building materials from renewable resources. The requirements of wood-based products with improved durability, for example, enhanced liquid repellence and UV and biological resistance, are still a challenge. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterisation of thermally modified wood for use as component in biobased building materials

    Author : Susanna Källbom; Magnus Wålinder; Dennis Jones; Kristiina Lillqvist; Kristoffer Segerholm; Marko Petrič; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermally modified wood TMW components; surface properties; inverse gas chromatography IGC ; water sorption; dynamic vapour sorption DVS ; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : The building sector shows growing interest in biobased building materials. Wood components, here defined as ground or milled wood, i.e. by-products (residuals/residues) from wood processing, such as sawdust or shavings, are valuable raw materials for new types of durable biocomposites suitable for outdoor building applications.
