Current Landscape: Use of Supercritical CO2 in the Wood Industry
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.The application of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to successfully dewater as well as extract resin from wood is becoming increasingly popular due to its greener and less energy‐intensive approach. With world focus shifting to developing methods with greater efficiency while decreasing harm to the environment, scCO2 applications have begun to set ...

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of
