Solid wood and veneer

The solid wood/veneer research group is dedicated to topics relating to the natural material wood in its native form as well as modern solid wood composites. The modification of natural properties such as swelling and shrinkage behavior, moisture absorption, strength, hardness, color, etc. through thermal, mechanical, chemical and biological modifications and their combinations bring improvements in the use of wood and veneers as construction and interior finishing products as well as products for everyday life and in the living environment of people.

Focal points:

• Thermal modification of solid wood, veneer, bamboo
• Chemical-mechanical modification of solid wood
• constructive tempering through material combination
• Material behavior of veneers
• Material developments for musical instruments
