Advanced Systems for Wood Fire Protection (ReactaFire)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Wood is an important construction material (over 70% of people in the developed world live in timber frame housing) as it performs well as an engineering material and compared to other commonly used construction materials it is more sustainable. However, timber is combustible, unlike concrete or steel, and this has significant implications for how it is used within the construction industry as the ...

Extended service-life and improved properties of wood products through the use of functional nanoparticles in clear coating and adhesive systems (WOODLIFE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
The long term objective of the WOODLIFE project is to provide coated and glued wood products with substantially improved durability for a more sustainable society. The project aims to develop new water-based clear coating systems for wood with improved UV-absorbing properties, and to develop new water-based thermoplastic wood adhesives with improved mechanical properties. The new coating and adhes ...
