Wood characterization of adult clones of Tecnona grandis growing in Costa Rica
(CERNE, 2015)
Tectona grandis is an important wood in the commercial market due to its
excellent workability, durability and aesthetic characteristics. Therefore, it is important to
improve the conditions of reproduction and development ...
Optical performance of finished and unfinished tropical timbers exposed to ultraviolet light in the field in Costa Rica
(Wood Material Science & Engineering, 2016)
This study evaluated wood color change (ΔE*) and the surface quality in 10 tropical wood species painted with three
finishes (composed of wax and polyurethane). Two weathering conditions were tested: natural weathering ...

Fortalecimiento de las capacidades del sector industrial forestal a través de la transferencia y apropiación del conocimiento generado en proyectos de investigación del área de tecnología de productos forestales
(Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Vicerrectoría de Investigación y Extensión (VIE). Escuela de Ingeniería Forestal. Centro de Investigación en Innovación Forestal (CIF), 2017)
El sector forestal en la última década ha mostrado cambios en su desarrollo, aspectos como sistemas productivos, tecnologías de producción y oferta de productos han variado significativamente, lo que hace necesario el ...
Surface chemical and color characterization of juvenile tectona grandis wood subjected to steam-drying treatments
(2016)
The color of Tectona grandis wood is an attribute that favors its commercialization, however, wood
color from fast-growth plantation trees is clear and lacks uniformity. The aim of this work is to
characterize steamed ...
Effects of adding multiwall carbon nanotubes on performance of polyvinyl acetate and urea-formaldehyde adhesives in tropical timber species
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWCNTs-OH) have been incorporated into polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives utilized in tropical wood gluing. The Raman ...
Evaluation of chemical compositions, air-dry, preservation and workability of eight fastgrowing plantation species in Costa Rica
(Revista Madera y Bosques, 2015)
Costa Rica has successfully planted various forestry species for wood production. However, the use of their wood is limited, due to poor
knowledge about their chemical properties, air-dry, preserved and workability ...
Characterisation of pellets made from oil palm residues in Costa Rica
(Journal of Oil Palm Research, 2016)
Presently, there are around 67 000 ha of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) in Costa Rica. The resulting post-harvest residues are not being used currently. These residues can be employed for generation of heat by means of ...
Application of the X-ray densitometry in the evaluation of the quality and mechanical properties of biomass pellets
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
The use of the X-ray technique and the X-ray densitometry to determine pellet particle distribution and to understand the biomass compaction and its effects in pellet properties has been limited. The present work evaluates ...
