The magnificent designs of nature never cease to amaze us. Explaining how the self-healing material mechanisms work and developing new design proposals could shed light on scientific and engineering innovations in various fields, especially in the biomedical, agricultural, environmental, construction, and defense sect…

Abstract Understanding how molecular architecture and rheological properties govern crosslinking behavior of cellulose derivatives is essential for designing high-performance biobased adhesive systems. This study investigates citric acid (CA)-mediated crosslinking in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and hydroxypropyl met…

Yenilenebilir bir biyomalzeme olan ahşap, yüksek mekanik dayanımı, işlenebilirliği ve karbon depolama kapasitesi sayesinde sürdürülebilir malzeme teknolojilerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu kapsamda, ekonomik değeri yüksek tropikal ağaç türlerinin özelliklerinin incelenmesi, sürdürülebilir hammadde kullanımının dest…

İran Demir Ağacı (Parrotia persica C.A. Meyer), dört mevsim boyunca ilgi çekici özellikleriyle bilhassa peyzaj düzenlemelerinde çok değerli bir ağaçtır. Kuraklık ve kentsel kirliliğe toleransı, hastalık ve zararlılara karşı direnci sayesinde bakım gereksinimi düşüktür. Sonbaharda yapraklarının sergilediği renk değişim…

Formaldehyde emissions from urea-formaldehyde-bonded wood products represent a major environmental and indoor air quality concern due to their adverse effects on human health. Identifying and prioritizing the failure modes contributing to these emissions is essential for effective risk management and emission control.…

In this study, spruce wood speciemens were subjected to microwave (MW) pre-treatment prior to impregnation. The samples had an initial moisture content (MC) of 60% and were exposed to MW irridation in a microwave oven for 5, 5.5, and 6 min, while maintaining a constant power level of 800 W. Following the MW pre-treatm…

A series of aldehyde-free phenolic resin precursors obtained via microwave-assisted liquefaction of olive pomace (OP) with m-cresol and phenol as solvents were screened for their ability to directly thermoset without needing an additional resinification step with formaldehyde. It was hypothesized that, through careful…
