Course content
1) Introduction - wood as a construction material - advantages, disadvantages, historical perspective, an overview of products based on vegetable 2) Chemistry and morphology of wood - wood microscopy and macroscopic morphology of wood 3) Chemistry and morphology of wood - wood chemistry, the relationship between the chemical composition and submicroscopic structure of wood 4) Physico-chemical properties of wood - density, moisture of wood, wood swelling 5) The physico-chemical properties of wood - effect of water 6) Physico-chemical properties of wood - heat, electric, magnetic and sound 7) The mechanical properties of wood - wood like behavior body, the effect of water on these properties 8) Aging ligno-cellulosic material - aging of lignin, cellulose, recycling, biomass and aging during the recycling 9) Biomass - renewable energy source 10) Use of ligno-cellulosic materials in construction - products from wood 11) Use of ligno-cellulosic materials in construction - products made from cork, hemp and straw 12) wood composites - plywood, structural composite blocks (OSL, LVL and PSL), particleboard and fibreboard (LDF, MDF and HDF), nano-composites 13) Finishes wood - defects in surfaces, chemical wood protection, antimicrobial treatment without a negative impact on the environment 14) The recycling of composite packaging materials based on paper - the use of waste composite beverage containers on ligno-cellulosic base for construction and insulation purposes
