Influence of thermal modification on nail withdrawal strength of spruce wood
This paper deals with nail withdrawal strength of spruce (Picea abies L.) with a focus on its dependence on thermal modification. Nail withdrawal strength is a feature of wood that is very important in the construction of wooden buildings. There are many

Changes in Chemical Structure of Thermally Modified Spruce Wood Due to Decaying Fungi
Fungi play a critical role in the decomposition of wood and wood-based products in use. The ability of decaying fungi to cause degradation of polysaccharides and lignin in the thermally modified Norway spruce (Picea abies L.

Novel hydrophobization of wood by epoxidized linseed oil. Part 1. Process description and anti-swelling efficiency of the treated wood [PDF]
The known method of wood modification by epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) has a limiting practical application due to the rapid polymerization of ELO in the presence of acetic acid (AA) needed as a catalyst.

New Natural Injection-Moldable Composite Material from Sunflower Oil Cake [PDF]
Through a twin-screw extrusion process the native structure of sunflower oil cake was completely transformed (globular protein denaturation/texturization and husk fiber defibration) into a simpler matrix-fiber structure, as could be seen on SEM ...

Thermogravimetric analysis of commercial thermally modified wood
In the article the results are shown of a thermogravimetric analysis of four thermally modified wood species. Thermally modified wood before and after the extraction process was used for the tests. The extraction process had no significant effect on changes in the thermal characteristics either in the raw wood or in the modified wood, irrespective of ...

Thermally modified Scots pine samples were impregnated with lauric acid (LA) and myristic acid (MA) as phase change material (PCM) by vacuum process. The LA-MA mixture was prepared at a eutectic ratio of 66 to 34 wt%. Some properties of the wood samples

Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Effect of moisture on the bending properties of thermally modified beech and spruce [PDF]
For appropriate and successful applications of thermally modified wood, a detailed knowledge of its distinct properties is essential. A thermal modification leads to structural and chemical changes in the wood constituents, which may significantly alter ...

Spatial relationships between polymers in Sitka spruce: proton spin-diffusion studies [PDF]
The spatial arrangement of polymers in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) was investigated by NMR proton spin-diffusion studies, supplemented by deuterium-exchange experiments monitored by FTIR spectroscopy.
