European co-operation in wood research From native wood to engineered materials : Part 3: engineered hybrid wood-based products

• Forest-based  industries  have  been  continuously  developing  advanced  processes,  materials  and  wood-based solutions, to meet evolving demands and increase competitiveness. Engineered wood products (EWPs)  constitute  one  emerging  group  of  materials  aiming  at  improved  property  profiles  of  wood,  and  provide desired shapes and functionality. In this paper, the main principles for different processes to soften wood  and  make  it  more  flexible  for  bending  and  moulding,  such  as  longitudinal  compression,  plasticization  by  water  vapour  and  gaseous  ammonia,  and  a  dielectric  heating  technique,  are  discussed.  Examples  of  implementation  of  these  techniques  for  the  production  of  wooden  products  are  presented,  and  the  use  of  reed  canary  grass,  and  a  novel  technique  for  embossment  of  hybrid  particleboards  are  also  further  discussed.
