Principles of Wood Science and Technology
Modern forest products research had its start hardly fifty years ago. Today we are in a position to apply the title "wood science" to the field of wood technology that is based on scientific investigation, theoretical as well as experimental. It is this research that fosters new uses for wood as a raw material and that creates the foundation for new industries for the manufacture of wood-base materials such as plywood, laminated products, particle and fiber board and sand wich construction. Wood technology in its broadest sense combines the disciplines of wood anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics and mechanical technology. It is through this interdisciplinary approach that progress has been ...

Thermal characteristics of thick red oak flakeboard
As part of a cooperative project between Purdue University and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, 1-3/16-inch-thick red oak structural flakeboard was tested for fire penetration, flame spread, and thermal resistance. The small-scale testing indicated satisfactory thermal characteristics for a wood-based product. Fire penetration performance exceeded that of a 1-1/8-inch-thick plywood accepted as roof decking in heavy timber construction. Flame-spread performance met the class C criteria of 200 or less. Thermal resistance was consistent with suggested insulative design values for particleboard. (Author).
Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology
This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core conce...
Wood Handbook
"Summarizes information on wood as an engineering material. Properties of wood and wood-base products of particular concern to the architect and engineer are presented, along with discussions of designing with wood and some pertinent uses of wood."--Page ii.
