Twenty years have now passed since one of us published a review on this topic I and since
then a large number of studies related to it have appeared, justifying a comprehensive …

Significant developments in the area of wood modification have been achieved during the
last three decades. These developments can be attributed to increased environmental …

Methyl furan production through catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural in the liquid
phase has been investigated over a Ru/C catalyst in the temperature range of 120–200° C …

A thorough investigation of the acid-catalyzed polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol was
conducted with the specific aim of understanding the mechanisms responsible for the main …

Chemical modification has been recognized as an efficient strategy for dimensionally
stabilizing wood and protecting it from environmental damage, such as deterioration due to …

The complete curing of furfuryl alcohol (FA), was studied by chemorheological analysis and
model-free kinetics under isothermal and non-isothermal modes. Polymerization of FA under …

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), discovered at the early 20th century, has been widely used in
organic synthesis as a solvent, catalyst and reagent. Many chemical transformations should …

Abstract Poly (furfuryl alcohol)–(PFA) is a biobased thermoset known for its highly
crosslinked structure. Bidimensional NMR (2D-NMR) was employed to give new insights on …

The chemical structure and thermal reaction pathway of four native and modified starch
samples after being heated up to 600° C have been examined by 13C high-resolution solid …

The first processes for “furfurylation” of wood (wood modification with furfuryl alcohol) were
developed several decades ago. Furfuryl alcohol is a renewable chemical since it is derived …
