… Meanwhile, capital going into the early stage companies declined to 20.0%. Importantly, the
performance of early stage funds has exceeded the industry average with a 51.2% return in …

In this study, lap shear strength as well as specific fracture energy of bonded specimens
from spruce wood were determined in order to verify whether the calculation of adhesive …

… By demonstrating that the evolution of PREs goes far beyond the gradual adaptation of
preexisting elements, this study documents a novel dimension of regulatory evolution. We …

In the wood-based panel industry, controlling the manufacturing process is crucial for ensuring
product quality, using resources efficiently and cutting production costs. One major aspect …

Adhesives on the basis of urea-formaldehyde (UF) and melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF)
are extensively used in the production of wood-based panels. In the present study, the …

Cellulose nanofibrils were prepared by mechanical fibrillation of never-dried beech pulp and
bacterial cellulose. To facilitate the separation of individual fibrils, one part of the wood pulp …

In the present study, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) were
applied as additives for a waterborne acrylate/polyurethane-based wood coating in order …

Cereal straw is an abundant byproduct of crop production. Despite little current use in materials,
the biologically optimized structure, which carries the weight of a structure up to 1.5 m …

… The material goes from a rubbery state to a glassy state. Below and above glass transition
temperature, T g , different mechanisms take over in the curing process. This glass transition …

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of functionalized cellulose nanocrystals
(CNC) on the performance of urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesive for the production of …
