Unraveling the Role of Lignin Oligomers Functionality for the Synthesis of Nonisocyanate Polyurethanes

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
This study reports the synthesis of bio‐based nonisocyanate polyhydroxyurethanes from crude lignins and depolymerized lignin oligomers. The structure–properties relationships were largely explored and highlighted the key role of lignin functionality on the physical properties of the materials. Lignins are the main source of aromatic compounds in nature.

Comparison of Micropore Distribution in Cell Walls of Softwood and Hardwood Xylem1

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2018
Molecular microscopy shows that distribution of porosity across the secondary cell wall in xylem is predominantly related to the degree of lignification in different cell wall layers.

Free shrinkage of wood determined at the cellular level using an environmental scanning electron microscope

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
The shrinkage at the cellular level was determined in the transverse plane of wood using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The whole procedure is based on pairs of images grabbed with the same imaging conditions (magnification ...

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.

Organosolv Fractionation of Softwood Biomass for Biofuel and Biorefinery Applications

open access: yes, 2017
Softwoods represent a significant fraction of the available lignocellulosic biomass for conversion into a variety of bio-based products. Its inherent recalcitrance, however, makes its successful utilization an ongoing challenge.

Microstructural and physical aspects of heat treated wood. Part 1. Softwoods

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Heat treatment of wood is an effective method to improve the dimensional stability and durability against biodegradation. Optimisation of a two-stage heat treatment process at relatively mild conditions (

Uit ander hout gesneden: Veranderend houtgebruik in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw

open access: yesBulletin KNOB, 2015
Long before the large-scale import of Scandinavian softwoods in the seventeenth century, deal floorboards and softwood rafters had already made their appearance before1500 and continued to appear sporadically throughout the sixteenth century, especially ...

Sandblasting Wood as a Technique of Simulated Weathering

open access: yesApplied Sciences
While most efforts are aimed at preventing the surface roughening and colour change of wood due to weathering, some customers, mainly for decorative reasons, want wooden objects and elements to give the impression that they have been weathered for a long
