Interactions between Water and Cellulose Esters
(2024-02-05)Unique interactions between cellulosic assemblies and water is something which needs to be harnessed in the drive toward a green and sustainable world for a range of applications, where the replacement of fossil-based ... -
Fabrication of Multidimensional Sustainable Materials from Wood via Alkaline Periodate Oxidation
(2024-01-22)Producing multidimensional sustainable materials from wood using alkaline periodate oxidation (APO) is a promising path toward new materials that take advantage of the inherent properties of wood and the environmentally ... -
MDF Recycling: Recovering fibres from fibreboards for further material utilisation with a focus on the chemical and morphological alteration of the recovered fibres
(2023-02-01)The present research was performed within the scopes of the DFG Research Training Group 1703 “Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational Networks” and AiF Project GmbH (project No. 16KN065229), which aims at developing a ... -
Herstellung von Holzfaserdämmstoffen auf Laub- und Nadelholzbasis mit dem Fokus auf der Fasercharakterisierung, sowie der Ermittlung der physikalischen, mechanischen und biologischen Eigenschaften
(2022-10-19)The objective of this work was to investigate the use of hardwood fibres for the production of wood fibre insulation materials in order to provide a broader range of raw materials against the background of ecological forest ... -
N-Containing Biomass for the Sustainable Synthesis of N-Heterocycles via Cyclization Reactions
(2022-07-22)The N-containing compounds from biomass, including chitin, chitosan and D-glucosamine, are one of the largest sustainable native biobased materials on earth. Human processing of the sustainable chitin/chitosan/D-glucosam ... -
Self-assembly of Carbohydrate Esters
(2021-11-16)Superstructures fabricated from carbohydrates and their derivatives hold an immense promise for the application in diverse fields. However, still many understudied problems challenge us, such as the roles of backbones and ... -
Entwicklung eines faltbaren Werkstoffverbundes auf Furnierbasis
(2021-10-07)The growing demand for durable, sustainable, regionally and "fairly" produced products has been rising steadily since the early 2000s, especially products made of wood are becoming more and more popular. Against this ... -
Novel nanostructured materials from cellulose esters
(2021-03-04)Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer on earth, constitutes virtually an inexhaustible source for the fabrication of nanostructured materials. Combining its biocompatibility and biodegradability, cellulose-based ... -
Untersuchungen zum Effekt von Dichte auf mechanische und hygrische Eigenschaften von Spanplatten und Massivholz am Beispiel von Paulownia
(2021-01-18)The scope of this study was to investigate the effect of density on mechanical and hygrical properties of particleboards varying particle mixtures and utilizing raw materials of different densities in surface and core ... -
Adaptations of pyrophilous insects to burnt habitats: Odor signals, infrared receptors and behavior
(2020-06-12)Pyrophilous insects are known to invade recently burnt habitats for food, mating and oviposition. They can approach fires due to their ability to recognize fire-specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Moreover, some ... -
Hitzeinduzierte Radikalbildung während der thermischen Holzmodifizierung
(2020-03-10)In this thesis the hardwood and the softwood were thermally modified to investigate the effect of heat on the chemical structure of the wood and the heat induced radical formation during wood modification. Different ... -
Dimensionsstabile und pilzresistente Furnierwerkstoffe durch Zellwandmodifizierung mit niedermolekularem Phenol-Formaldehyd
(2019-12-03)The sorption and desorption of water within the cell wall of wood lead to swelling and shrinkage. Severe stresses occur under varying climatic conditions and damage of the wood structure can result, which eventually causes ... -
Process optimization of thermal modification of Chilean Eucalyptus nitens plantation wood
(2019-02-22)Eucalyptus nitens is one of the most important fast growing plantation species in Chile. Currently it is mostly used for pulp and paper, but in recent years there has been a growing market for solid wood products to increase ... -
Untersuchungen zur Dauerhaftigkeit von kunstharz-modifiziertem Holz bei Verwendung in Meerwasserkontakt
(2018-01-23)This thesis investigates the durability of resin-modified wood in marine contact. For this purpose, it examines the influence of process conditions on resin distribution in the modified wood and it explores the possibility ... -
Entwicklung von leichten, dreischichtigen Sandwichverbundplatten unter Verwendung des Agrarrohstoffes Mais
(2016-09-20)The development of wood composites such as fibreboards or particle boards rely on the intention to improve the efficiency of the wood use and to expand the application of the material wood. The conventional wood composites ...
