\n Seagrass wracks, the remains of dead leaves accumulated on seashores, are important ecosystems and beneficial for the marine environment. Their presence on the touristic beaches, however, is a problem for the tourism industry due to the lack of aesthetics and safety reasons. At the present time, seagrass leaves are landfilled, although this is not considered an ecological waste management practice. Among other proposed practices for more sustainable and environmentally friendly management, such as composting and biogas or energy generation, in this study we aim to use seagrass leaves for the production of insulation materials.

Previous works have been synthesized in various factorized design frameworks presented in the form of technical reports. Factorization does not consider the non-linear dependency between decay-influencing effects, such as between detail design and climate variables. The CLICKdesign project is a joint European effort targeting digital, performance-based specification for service-life design (SLD) of wood. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a semi-empirical moisture model (SMM) as a basis for a digital SLD framework. The performance of the SMM is assessed by comparison against a finite element model (FEM). In addition, two different wood decay models (a logistic, LM, and simplified logistic model (SLM)) are compared. While discrepancies between the SMM and FEM were detected particularly at high wood moisture content, the overall performance of the SMM was deemed sufficient for the application. The main source of uncertainty instead stems from the choice of wood decay model.

\n Performance-based, service-life design of wood has been the focus of much research in recent decades. Previous works have been synthesized in various factorized design frameworks presented in the form of technical reports. Factorization does not consider the non-linear dependency between decay-influencing effects, such as between detail design and climate variables. The CLICKdesign project is a joint European effort targeting digital, performance-based specification for service-life design (SLD) of wood. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a semi-empirical moisture model (SMM) as a basis for a digital SLD framework. The performance of the SMM is assessed by comparison against a finite element model (FEM). In addition, two different wood decay models (a logistic, LM, and simplified logistic model (SLM)) are compared. While discrepancies between the SMM and FEM were detected particularly at high wood moisture content, the overall performance of the SMM was deemed sufficient for the application. The main source of uncertainty instead stems from the choice of wood decay model. Based on the results, a new method based on pre-calculated time series, empirical equations, and interpolation is proposed for predicting the service life of wood. The method is fast and simple yet able to deal with non-linear effects between weather variables and the design of details. As such, it can easily be implemented as part of a digital design guideline to provide decision support for architects and engineers, with less uncertainty than existing factorized guidelines.\n

Separate sets of specimens were prepared to be painted with plain acrylic-latex paint and NS-treated paint as well. Heat treatment of specimens was carried out in a laboratory oven at 185 ºC and under atmospheric air pressure. Six fire properties were measured including times to onset of ignition and glowing, as well as back-darkening and back-holing times. Two properties of mass loss and burnt area were measured once the fire was extinguished and the test on each specimen terminated. Results demonstrated significant improvement in fire properties of NS. The improvement was partially attributed to the mineral nature of sepiolite with low chemical reactivity, acting as an insulating layer towards the penetration of fire to the wood substrate. The improvement in fire properties was also partially attributed to the high thermal conductivity coefficient of sepiolite, delaying the accumulation of heat at the point nearest to the piloted fire to reach ignition point.

\n The effects of nano-sepiolite (NS) on fire properties of unheated and heat-treated fir wood were studied using a newly developed apparatus. Separate sets of specimens were prepared to be painted with plain acrylic-latex paint and NS-treated paint as well. Heat treatment of specimens was carried out in a laboratory oven at 185 ºC and under atmospheric air pressure. Six fire properties were measured including times to onset of ignition and glowing, as well as back-darkening and back-holing times. Two properties of mass loss and burnt area were measured once the fire was extinguished and the test on each specimen terminated. Results demonstrated significant improvement in fire properties of NS. The improvement was partially attributed to the mineral nature of sepiolite with low chemical reactivity, acting as an insulating layer towards the penetration of fire to the wood substrate. The improvement in fire properties was also partially attributed to the high thermal conductivity coefficient of sepiolite, delaying the accumulation of heat at the point nearest to the piloted fire to reach ignition point. Heat treatment did not significantly affect fire properties in unpainted specimens. However, fire properties in the painted heat-treated specimens (with both plain paint, and NS-treated paint) tended to decrease, though the values were still significantly higher than those of unpainted heat-treated specimens. FTIR spectra illustrated significant alteration in intensities at wave numbers 3100 ­cm−1 and 1,00 ­cm−1, related to the hydroxyl groups of cell-wall polymers (mostly hemicelluloses). These alterations had a negative effect on the adhesion of the water-based paint used in this study. It was concluded that nano-sepiolite has a promising future as a fire retardant. However, as cost is of vital importance for paint manufacturers, further studies on the effects of sepiolite at micron-scale available at a lower price should also be carried out.\n

\n Abstract Chemical wood modification has been used to modify wood and improve its decay resistance. However, the mode of protective action is still not fully understood. Occasionally, outdoor products made from chemically modified timber (CMT) show internal decay while their outer shell remains intact. Hence, it was hypothesized that wood decay fungi may grow through CMT without losing their capability to degrade non-modified wood. This study aimed at developing a laboratory test set-up to investigate (1) whether decay fungi grow through CMT and (2) retain their ability to degrade non-modified wood. Acetylated and 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) treated wood were used in decay tests with modified ‘mantle specimens’ and untreated ‘core dowels’. It became evident that white rot ( Trametes versicolor ), brown rot ( Coniophora puteana ) and soft rot fungi can grow through CMT without losing their ability to degrade untreated wood. Consequently, full volume impregnation of wood with the modifying agent is required to achieve complete protection of wooden products. In decay tests with DMDHEU treated specimens, significant amounts of apparently non-fixated DMDHEU were translocated from modified mantle specimens to untreated wood cores. A diffusion-driven transport of nitrogen and DMDHEU seemed to be responsible for mass translocation during decay testing.\n

\n X-ray micro-computed tomography (XμCT) was used to explore the decomposed structure of conifer and angiosperm wood after colonization by soft-rot fungi. The visualization of degradation features of soft-rot decay was challenging to achieve through XμCT. Difficulties in visualization emerged due to a decreased grayscale contrast (i.e. X-ray density) of the degraded wood. Nevertheless, we were able to image fungal-induced cell deformations in earlywood and cavities in the thick wall of latewood cells in three-dimensions (3D). Unlike the organic wood material, the higher X-ray density of inorganic deposits, identified as mainly calcium-based particles by energy-dispersive spectroscopy, allowed a facilitated 3D survey. The visualization of inorganic particles in 3D revealed a localized distribution in certain cells in conifer and angiosperm found mostly in earlywood.\n

Acetylation reduces hydroxyl (OH) content by acetyl (Ac) substitution but may also limit water access to unmodified OH groups by steric hindrance. In the present work, the accessibility of OH groups in acetylated or propionylated Radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) wood (WAc and WPr) was investigated by deuterium exchange, saponification in sodium hydroxide followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and weight percentage gain determination of the modified samples. Acetylation reduced OH accessibility (OHA) to a greater extent than would be predicted, if OH substitution were the only responsible mechanism for accessibility reduction. The combination of deuterium exchange and saponification results provides strong evidence that steric hindrance plays a key role in reduction of water accessibility to unmodified OH groups in WAc. The supramolecular architecture of WPr samples seems to be modified by the propionylation reaction, which leads to increased OHA at low levels of substitution. This suggests that molecular restructuring within the cell wall exposes new OH groups after propionylation.

\n Acetylated wood (WAc) shows improved properties largely due to the reduced amount of water in its cell wall, but the exact mechanism of water reduction remains unclear. Acetylation reduces hydroxyl (OH) content by acetyl (Ac) substitution but may also limit water access to unmodified OH groups by steric hindrance. In the present work, the accessibility of OH groups in acetylated or propionylated Radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) wood (WAc and WPr) was investigated by deuterium exchange, saponification in sodium hydroxide followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and weight percentage gain determination of the modified samples. Acetylation reduced OH accessibility (OHA) to a greater extent than would be predicted, if OH substitution were the only responsible mechanism for accessibility reduction. The combination of deuterium exchange and saponification results provides strong evidence that steric hindrance plays a key role in reduction of water accessibility to unmodified OH groups in WAc. The supramolecular architecture of WPr samples seems to be modified by the propionylation reaction, which leads to increased OHA at low levels of substitution. This suggests that molecular restructuring within the cell wall exposes new OH groups after propionylation. At higher levels of substitution, however, the WPr exhibited less OHA than expected indicating steric hindrance from the propionyl groups.\n

Bamboo exhibits such potential due to its availability, good material properties and high yield resources. The utilization of bamboo for thermoplastic composites will reduce the demand for plastics and the environmental impact associated with their production and disposal. Several studies showed that bamboo has a very good prospect for reinforcement of thermoplastic composites and is a promising substitute for wood-polymer composites (WPC) products. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential production and performance properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based composites with Malaysian bamboo species (Bambusa vulgaris and Schizostachyum brachycladum) as particulate filler. Different bamboo particle sizes (75 μm and 1 mm) at different bamboo particle loading (25 and 50\\% w/w) were used and processed. The \\{PVC\\} matrix and bamboo particles were mixed together with additives using a standard processing procedure for wood-PVC composites production. Pure \\{PVC\\} (without bamboo particles) composites and wood flour-PVC composites were also prepared under the same processing conditions of this system for comparison purposes. The composite samples were tested for performance properties, viz. flexural strength, impact bending and water uptake. As a result, bamboo-PVC composites were successfully produced using this standard processing procedure. Regardless of bamboo species, the performance properties of the composites mainly depended upon particles loading with minor effect of particle sizes. No significant difference in the properties of composites, between bamboo species, was recorded.

\n Abstract Bamboo is one of the potential lignocelluloses materials which can be used in thermoplastic composites in order to reduce the use of fossil fuel-based materials. Bamboo exhibits such potential due to its availability, good material properties and high yield resources. The utilization of bamboo for thermoplastic composites will reduce the demand for plastics and the environmental impact associated with their production and disposal. Several studies showed that bamboo has a very good prospect for reinforcement of thermoplastic composites and is a promising substitute for wood-polymer composites (WPC) products. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential production and performance properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based composites with Malaysian bamboo species (Bambusa vulgaris and Schizostachyum brachycladum) as particulate filler. Different bamboo particle sizes (75 μm and 1 mm) at different bamboo particle loading (25 and 50% w/w) were used and processed. The \\PVC\\ matrix and bamboo particles were mixed together with additives using a standard processing procedure for wood-PVC composites production. Pure \\PVC\\ (without bamboo particles) composites and wood flour-PVC composites were also prepared under the same processing conditions of this system for comparison purposes. The composite samples were tested for performance properties, viz. flexural strength, impact bending and water uptake. As a result, bamboo-PVC composites were successfully produced using this standard processing procedure. Regardless of bamboo species, the performance properties of the composites mainly depended upon particles loading with minor effect of particle sizes. No significant difference in the properties of composites, between bamboo species, was recorded. The presence of bamboo particles has tremendously increased the flexural modulus of elasticity (MOE) of composites from 0% (pure \\PVC\\ composites without bamboo particles) to 50% loading (almost two times increase), although there were slight decreases of flexural modulus of rupture (MOR), and some defective results of impact bending and water uptake. Water uptake, MOE, and \\MOR\\ of all groups of bamboo-PVC composites was superior to their wood-PVC composites counterpart, with some other results such as impact bending (in the case of 25% particles loading) being better than those of wood-PVC composites. These results show that the use of bamboo will not only serve as an alternative for WPCs, but also expand the commercial utilization of bamboo and development of greener, cleaner products.\n

\n Pine sapwood was treated with various types of silica sols. Whereas alkaline sols were not able to penetrate deeper into wood, neutral and acidic sols showed good penetration. The weight percent gain of treated specimens amounted to 20–25%; bulking was negligible or even slightly negative. All silica sols in the treated specimens were stable against water leaching. A water submersion test revealed hydrophobation of the wood only after treatment with a cationic silica sol; all other silica sols increased the rate of water uptake. The addition of 2% cationic sol to a malt-agar growth medium caused growth inhibition of 40–50% of the wood decay fungi Coniophora puteana and Trametes versicolor, whereas the other silica sols did not inhibit growth. Pine sapwood and beech wood blocks treated with the cationic sol showed a strong reduction in mass loss compared to the control samples after incubation with C. puteana (pine) and T. versicolor (beech) according to EN 113 and CEN/TS 15083-1; all other silica sols did not inhibit fungal decay. The cationic silica sol reduced blue staining by Aureobasidium pullulans compared to the untreated control but did not fully prevent it; all other silica sols did not inhibit blue staining.\n

This increase in resistance was shown not to be caused by a biocidal effect of monomeric DMDHEU: the growth of T. versicolor and Coniophora puteana was not significantly reduced, when DMDHEU was added to sterile malt agar plates in concentrations of up to 10%. Poria placenta was not negatively affected up to a DMDHEU concentration of 5%. A solid state fermentation experiment was performed with T. versicolor on milled untreated and DMDHEU modified wood in order to determine the production of extra-cellular protein and the activity of wood-decaying enzymes. T. versicolor was not able to grow on wood treated to the highest WPG (14.9%). The activity of ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, manganese peroxidase) was highest at 7.9% WPG compared to the untreated control and 2.8% WPG. The overall production of hydrolytic enzymes was low in all cases and a clear distinction between untreated and modified wood was not possible.\n
