This course presents widely used wood-based products as well as those that have been recently developed. The production processes and structure of different engineered wood products, such as plywood, cross-laminated timber, and other timber and panel products, are described in detail. Links between wood product properties and typical applications in the living environment are presented. Further the course covers wood modification methods which affect the durability of wood.
This course is aimed at students wishing to specialize in the materials science of wood, this course will also be of interest to students of architecture, civil & structural engineering, materials science & engineering and related disciplines, who have an interest in the possibilities offered by wood.
More practical information about the course will be updated later in the year in MyCourses:
To support learning the course includes several short videos, such as presented in this Youtube-channel:
