Wood cannot be employed excessively in all mechanical applications because of its poor dimensional stability and limited natural durability. Hence, modification is required to improve these qualities, and thermal alteration is the most popular method used in industry. This article focuses on the process of heat treatment / thermal modification of wood, including an overview of the industrial process.

This article previews the 20 finalists of the 2023 JEC Composites Startup Booster, which organizers say is the leading startup competition in the advanced materials and composites sector.
Plastic products are a cemented part of everyday life, from containers and clothes to bags and bottles. However, plastics resist degradation, instead breaking down into smaller particles that invade natural ecosystems and threaten the organisms living in them, including humans.
Serving as the interface between the semiconductor chip and its macro-environment, semiconductor/integrated circuit (IC) packaging plays a significant function in the electronic industry.
