Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites (2012, Hardcover, Revised) by download EPUB, TXT, DJV
9781439853801 English 1439853800 The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and energy/resource conservation. This book is an excellent guide to the latest concepts and technologies in wood chemistry and bio-based composites. Leading researchers offer in-depth discussions of presently known mechanisms in chemical modifications. The second edition has been fully revised and updated throughout the text. This edition includes a new chapter on the latest chemistry of wood heat treatments and discusses the newest chemistry of wood heat treatment., Wood has played a major role throughout human history. Strong and versatile, the earliest humans used wood to make shelters, cook food, construct tools, build boats, and make weapons. Recently, scientists, politicians, and economists have renewed their interest in wood because of its unique properties, aesthetics, availability, abundance, and perhaps most important of all, its renewability. However, wood will not reach its highest use potential until we fully describe it, understand the mechanisms that control its performance properties, and, finally, are able to manipulate those properties to give us the desired performance we seek. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of wood cellulose and its response to natural processes of degradation.
