Finishing of thermally modified wood

open access: yes, 2011
An exterior wood finish can be an effective way to reduce thermally modified wood’s sensitivity to ultra violet light. But, which finish is the most resistant at preventing premature graying?

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Effect of applying finishing products and sanding on the surface of marupa wood

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2020
The effect of applying cetol and varnish finishing products and sanding on the surface roughness and colour of marupa (Simarouba amara) wood was evaluated. Three coats of each product were applied and two sandpaper grits were used, 280 and 320).

Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.

Tailoring Symmetry Breaking in Engineered van der Waals Superlattices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We pioneer a scheme to tailor superpotentials in graphene based on intrinsic substrate electronic orders rather than twist angle. The resulting superpotential folds graphene's Dirac cones to either Γ$\Gamma$ or K‐points, leading to distinct symmetry behaviors.

Colour responses to heat-treatment of extractives and sap from pine and spruce

open access: yes, 2003
Scandinavian sawmills have over the last 20 years adopted ever-higher temperatures in the dry kilns. The reason for this has been improvements in drying quality and kiln capacity.
