2. Surface-Densified Wood : From Laboratory-Scale Research Towards a Competitive Product
Abstract : For many decades, humans have been consuming more resources than the world has to offer in the long run. Increasing the use of renewable materials, such as wood, is essential if we are to achieve a sustainable use of the resources available to us. READ MORE

3. Surface Densification of Solid Wood : Paving the Way Towards Industrial Implementation
Abstract : Surface densification of a piece of solid wood results in an increase in density and in hardness in the whole or a part of the densified material, and is one of the ways of improving the properties and value of low-density wood species. Despite efforts for many years, mass commercialisation of either bulk- or surface-densified wood products has not yet been achieved. READ MORE

4. Wettability of modified wood
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. Moisture-induced stress and distortion of wood : A numerical and experimental study of wood's drying and long-term behaviour
Abstract : With the current advances made in three-dimensional modelling of wood, it is possible to provide an overall picture of moisture flow, and moisture-induced stress and deformations, whereas previously, experiments only provided local measurements. The main aim of the doctoral thesis is to investigate the possibilities of the developed three-dimensional numerical model to predict the behaviour of wood when simultaneously exposed to a mechanical load and a particular climate.
