Research Highlights

Evaluating Fire Performance of Adhesives used in Cross-Laminated Timber
Year: 2020
Our research focuses on the study of how adhesives used to hold wood composites together perform under fire to ensure strong, fire-safe construction.

Role of leaf litter in above ground wood decay
Year: 2020
FPL researchers in Wood Durability and Protection investigate the contributions of leaf litter accumulation to the decay of wood in above ground exposure.
