Smart Wood and Fiber Modification
Abstract
The main objective of the project is to develop novel and innovative wood and fibre modification processes by using hydro-thermal, chemical and biotechnological approaches. These treatments have in common that they do not effect additional emissions after the modification of solid wood and fibres or they have the ability to reduce emissions of engineered wood products. The use of biotechnological treatments shall also be used to generate a better basic understanding of the interaction between the lignocellulosic substrate and specific chemical and enzymatic mechanisms of microorganisms. Consequently, the identified interactions will help to improve/adapt novel treatment methods in order to establish more efficient chemical or biotechnological modification processes. In conclusion it is claimed that: the development of new treatments improves the durability and UV-stability of solid wood, enhances bonding properties between lignocellulosic fibers, and reduces VOC-emission of engineered wood based composites by using ecological-friendly and emission-free agents and processes.
