Biomass Gasification and Pyrolysis: Practical Design and Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive coverage of the design, analysis, and operational aspects of biomass gasification, the key technology enabling the production of biofuels from all viable sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hierarchical structure and mechanics of plant materials
TL;DR: This study reviews the composition and microstructure of the cell wall as well as the cellular structure in three plant materials (wood, parenchyma and arborescent palm stems) to explain the wide range in mechanical properties in plants aswell as their remarkable mechanical efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a materials and structural perspective on how wood can be redesigned via structural engineering, chemical and/or thermal modification to alter its mechanical, fluidic, ionic, optical and thermal properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and mechanics of interfaces in biological materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the composition, structure and mechanics of a set of representative biological interfaces in nacre, bone and wood, and show that these interfaces possess unusual mechanical characteristics, which can encourage the development of advanced bioinspired composites.
