  2. 6. Mechanical processing for improved products made from Swedish hardwood

    Author : Jimmy Johansson; Dick Sandberg; František Hapla; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; capillarity; capillary transport; wood products; customer requirements; ecoeffectiveness; ; sawing pattern; star-sawing; the PrimWood Method; timber products; volume yield; water transport; Wood fibre and forest products; Träfiber- och virkeslära;

    Abstract : Swedish hardwood is today used in the energy, pulp and mechanical hardwood industries. Only very small volumes of Swedish hardwood are, however, consumed by the mechanical industry that normally pays the highest timber price. READ MORE

  4. 7. Strategic raw material supply for the particleboard-producing industry in Europe : Problems and challenges

    Author : Johann Trischler; Johan Bergh; Rupert Wimmer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass production; Lignocellulosic raw material; Non-wood plants; Particleboard; Pulp and paper; Recycling; Thermal energy recovery; Wood plants; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Particleboard was invented to increase the utilization of wood and it soon became an important core material for furniture production. Nowadays, other industries such as the pulp and papermaking industry and the thermal energy recovery industry claim the same type of raw material. READ MORE

  5. 8. On the small strain stiffness of some Scandinavian clays and impact on deep excavation

    Author : Tara Wood; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soft clay; small strain stiffness; degradation; seismic testing; sample quality;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the results of a comprehensive study on the small strain stiffness of several Swedish clays and its tentative effect on the design of retaining structures. A combination of field measurement techniques, seismic dilatometer and surface seismics, are complemented with bender element testing of the retrieved samples. READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on the competitiveness of wood : - market segmentation and customer need assessments

    Author : Ragnar Jonsson; Roger Cooper; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : wood; building material; material substitution; end-consumer; floorcovering; customer needs; FORESTRY; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES and LANDSCAPE PLANNING; SKOGS- och JORDBRUKSVETENSKAP samt LANDSKAPSPLANERING;

    Abstract : Over the last decades, wood has encountered increasing competition from other building materials. Hence, it is relevant to study the underlying factors of material substitution. The market for repair and remodelling (R&R) is growing in importance. READ MORE

  7. 10. 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
