Cell structure effects on mechanical properties of softwoods

Molecular modeling of cellulose surfaces

Cellulose nanocomposites

Wood nanocomposites – films and foams

New nanocomposites based on cellulose nanofibers

Aerogels - New material concepts from cellulose nanofibrils

Effect of added oligosaccharides on ordered phase formation in aqueous suspensions of colloidal cell

Analysis of Plastic Components Under Fatigue Loading

Experimental micromechanics of biocomposites based on fibres from wood

The features of a piece from the Vasa which was later used for preparation of tensile test specimens

Four dog-bone shaped specimens from the Vasa previously tested in tension parallel to grain

The final result: Evaluation of experimental data is displayed as a three-dimensional surface where mechanical properties can be related to x- and y-coordinates in the original piece
