The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

A review of the configuration of bordered pits to stimulate the fluid flow

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
As the bordered pits have generally been thought to have an influence on the refractory nature of softwoods, structural behaviour of this conducting pathways is discussed according to the published literature.

Caring for forests between attitude and platitude. Social relationships with nature in industrial forestry in Äänekoski, Finland

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forests play a pivotal role in sustainability transitions. This article explores how people's relationships with forests, particularly how they care for or take care of them, shape and reflect broader tendencies and tensions in forest utilization and governance.

Prediction of Withdrawal Resistance of Self-Tapping Screws in Softwood Structural Lumber

open access: yesBioResources
The withdrawal resistance of self-tapping screws (STS) in Korean structural softwood in the vertical fiber direction was examined. Four representative softwood species were selected based on their specific gravity.

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Reinforcement and Rheology of Epoxy‐Mediated Lignin Integration in Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The interaction of lignin‐epoxy resin‐XNBR and the effect of lignin on the nonlinear rheological behavior of epoxy‐cured XNBR/lignin composites. ABSTRACT Lignin has attracted increasing interest as a renewable filler for rubber composites; however, it shows weaker reinforcing efficiency than conventional fillers such as carbon black and silica ...

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond
