Working Group 2
Wood interface modification and interface interactions
Working Group 2 will focus on fundamental studies of wood interface modification which allows for example eco-friendly self-binding or wood to wood binding to occur. The emphasis will be set on studies of non-toxic interface modification methods for wood and wood products. Areas of interest will be e. g. the creation of bacterially generated ahesion, adhesion improvement by enzymatic pre-treatment, interface modification through friction, investigate liquefied wood as a bonding or surface coating material.
In this research area also a comprehensive knowledge on the interface modifications mechanisms and interactions will be gained. Interface analysis will be carried out in order to get results on the effectiveness of the processes and the long term performance.
