Biocomposites based on fungal mycelium and beech particles impregnated with BPCM (bio-phase change material) for thermal energy storage
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41034
The building sector is a major contributor to Europe's carbon emissions, and transition to a bio-based economy is essential for achieving long-term sustainability goals. The European Union has set ambitious targets for climate-neutral heating and cooling by 2050, which requires the widespread adoption of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. A key element in this transition i...

Investigation of Impregnation Factors for Biomass-Based Phenol-Formaldehyde Resins
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41044
This study investigates the impregnation factors affecting the treatment of wood with biomass-based phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins, such as impregnation methods, resin properties, and setting parameters like time and pressure. The goal is to ensure effective resin penetration into the wood cell wall structure, thereby enhancing wood durability and mechanical properties. Previous literature has la...

Developing a Novel Bio-based PF Resin as Wood Preservative and Explore its Synthesis Route Using RSM Methodology
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41046
Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin treatment has long been recognized as one of the most effective and widely used wood preservation methods, offering exceptional durability, dimensional stability, and resistance against biological degradation. However, traditional PF synthesis relies heavily on petroleum-derived phenol, raising concerns about environmental impact and resource sustainability. To date,...

Recycling wood treated with copper-based preservatives to produce hard carbon materials for energy storage applications
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50401
In this study, we explored the possibility of recycling wood treated with copper-based preservatives to produce hard carbon materials for use in energy storage devices. We pyrolsed both untreated and copper-treated wood into hard carbon, conducted microstructural and physicochemical characterisation, prepared electrode materials, and evaluated their electrochemical performance in sodium-ion batter...

Bio-Based but Toxic? The Neglected Ecotoxicity of Leachates from Wood Preservatives—A mini-review
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50403
Bio-based Wood preservatives, derived from renewable biomass, are emerging as promising alternatives to traditional synthetic wood preservatives. Research groups all around the world are studying the development of bio-based – environmentally friendly – wood preservatives and their fixation to wood finding natural compounds with very promising wood preserving potential. However, there is a ver...
