FRP-to-Softwood Joints: Experimental Investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A proper understanding of the interfacial behaviour between timber and bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites will assist in the rational and optimal design of FRP strengthening works for timber structures. To enhance this understanding, a series of single-lap FRP-to-timber joint shear tests are reported herein in which the strength of the ...

One‐Pot Depolymerization, Demethylation, and Phenolation of Lignin for Bioactive Polyphenol Production

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Low‐cost lignin was upgraded in an acidic lithium bromide (LiBr) solution via integrated depolymerization, demethylation, and phenolation to yield bioactive polyphenols with enhanced phenolic hydroxyl content. The resulting polyphenols exhibited strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities, along with low cytotoxicity and promising in vivo ...
