Timber can be used as a sustainable source for process chemicals (Silvichemicals), with particular emphasis being placed on wood as source of chemical feedstocks. Bulk Silvichemicals are unlikely to be cost competitive with fossil fuel derived chemic... Read More about Development of a method for the production of hemicellulosic gels from Sitka Spruce..

Deformation and fracture behaviour of flax fibre reinforced thermosetting polymer matrix composites. (2007)

The mechanical properties of unidirectional flax fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester resin composites were studied with particular emphasis on their tensile deformation behaviour. These materials displayed characteristic non-linear behaviour when... Read More about Deformation and fracture behaviour of flax fibre reinforced thermosetting polymer matrix composites..
