Impact of thermal modification on color and chemical changes of African padauk, merbau, mahogany, and iroko wood species
(De Gruyter Open Ltd., 2023)Thermal modification is an environment-friendly technology for improving various wood properties, especially the dimensional stability, decay resistance, and color homogeneity. In this work, four tropical wood species ... -
Impregnation of Norway spruce with low melting-point binary fatty acid as a phase-change material
(CRC Press/Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)Norway spruce was impregnated with a eutectic mixture of capric acid and stearic acid. The binary fatty acid was used as a bio-based phase-change material (PCM) for further applications with wood as a latent heat-storage ... -
Incipient decay in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and linden (Tilia cordata Mill.): An interspecific static and dynamic material analysis
(Elsevier Science BV, 2024)With increasing awareness of the ecological value of trees in urban areas, there is a growing need to preserve mature specimens often colonised by wood-decay fungi. Nonetheless, cases of stem collapse or uprooting of such ... -
The influence of false heartwood of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) on tensile shear strength of lap joints
(North Carolina State University, 2024)The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of false heartwood of beech wood on the shear strength of glued joints for thermoplastic and reactoplastic adhesives for plywood production. The tensile shear strength ... -
The Influence of Forestry Management on the Selection of a Non-Vegetative Diet by the Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber L.)
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)Native ecosystems have been transformed by humans into cultural landscapes, resulting in the disruption of natural interactions, with some species unable to adapt and disappearing from such landscapes. Other species were ... -
Influence of moisture content for bonding quality of european beech and english oak
(Mendelova univerzita v Brně, 2020)This study focused on the comparison of the bonding quality of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and English oak (Quercus robur L.), due to variability of moisture content (MC) in the wood. Hardwood species as a material, ... -
