The second part of a comprehensive review of the literature on wood published in the
Journal of Materials Science since its inception in 1966 is presented. The topics reviewed …

The transient plane source (TPS) method could measure the in-plane thermal conductivity
and through-plane thermal conductivity of anisotropic materials through one single test once …

Internal finishing materials for large auditoriums or public facilities are regulated in South
Korea to ensure their flame-retardant performance. Flame-retardant treatment of low-density …

Fire-retardant performance was imparted to the existing wood-fiber insulation boards (WIB)
via internal and external treatment with silica-and phosphorus-based fire-retardants. The …

Carbonized wood which possesses microstructure with random orientation graphitic
crystallites and with pores between the graphitic crystallites, is potentially developed into …

Silicon carbide rods were formed in composites of silicon carbide/silicon dioxide/carbon
(SiC/SiO 2/C) from carbonized wood impregnated with ethyl silicate-40 after heat treatments …

Abstract Zirconia–Alumina (ZrO 2–Al 2 O 3) composite with three layered structure was
prepared, and its friction and wear properties under water lubrication were investigated. The …

This paper describes a rapid technique to measure the thermal conductivity of anisotropic
material. It is a new analytical solution is developed for anisotropic materials. With …

The characterization of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems is increasingly important
because they enable gas turbine engines to operate at high temperatures and efficiency …

Establishment of fast-growing tree species plantations in tropical areas generate wood
biomass residue in which some of them are currently utilized for heating fuel and some …
