Importance of Water in Maintaining Softwood Secondary Cell Wall Nanostructure
Water is one of the principal constituents by mass of living plant cell walls. However, its role and interactions with secondary cell wall polysaccharides and the impact of dehydration and subsequent rehydration on the molecular architecture are still to

Efficiency of Machine Sanding of Wood
We hypothesized that the type of wood, in combination with the grit size of sandpapers, would affect sanding efficiency. Fixed factors were used in the experiment (a belt sander with pressure p = 3828 Pa, and a belt speed of vs = 14.5 m/s) as well as ...

Hydroxymethylation of softwood kraft lignin and phenol with paraformaldehyde
Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins are the most commonly used adhesives in particleboard and plywood production. Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer, has the potential to be a valuable resource for phenolic compounds; therefore, lignin could serve ...

PROPAGATION OF SELECTED CLEMATIS L. CULTIVARS BY SOFTWOOD CUTTINGS
The goal of the experiments carried out was to compare the rooting ability of two types of softwood cuttings. Nodal softwood cuttings with two leaves were used and bud cuttings with one leaf.

Biomass Carbon and Nitrogen Content of Softwood Broadleaves in Southwestern Serbia
To select softwood broadleaves for biomass cropping, a study of the carbon and nitrogen content of the bark and wood of six softwood broadleaves in southwestern Serbia was conducted. Compared with white willow, european aspen, common alder, black poplar,
