Pyrolytic treatment of CCB treated wood
2005 - IRG/WP 05-50224-23
Environmental problems caused by the toxicity of metallic elements of the preservative occur when treated wood comes to end of use. In the experiment, CCB treated wood chips were pyrolysed at various temperatures and residence times and the behaviour of boron, chromium and copper was observed. The three elements are almost entirely retained in the charcoal. There is no influence of final tempera...

Optimization via artificial intelligence of intumescent coatings for wood substrates
2023 - IRG/WP 23-40987
The development of new materials requires a large amount of experiments representing a major issue to innovate. This is particularly true for complex material formulations such as flame retarded materials that could contain a number of ingredients. Artificial Intelligence based optimization (more precisely Bayesian optimization) techniques appear to be efficient methods to optimize complex systems...
