DURAWOOD Month 15 Technical Meeting
The Month 15 Technical Meeting was hosted by RTD partner TTZ in Bremerhaven on the 17 February, 2011. The meeting involved the review of progress to date and the planned future work for DURAWOOD. All attending partners took part in a tour of the TTZ facilities and viewed a demonstration of DURAWOOD treated wood samples in terms of fungi resistance.
First public DURAWOOD demonstration
The first public demonstration session of the DURAWOOD project was held in Yecla, Spain on 31st May 2011.
The DURAWOOD prototype for plasma treatment of wood was hosted by ARYECLA, a partner in the project, who specialise in the manufacture of high quality furniture. Participants saw the effect on the polarity of the wood induced by the plasma treatment and were able to visualize the continuous treatment of wood that DURAWOOD process offers.
As well as the demonstration, the project partners discussed the principles of the DURAWOOD system, as well as the basics of surface modification, plasma technology and fungi resistance of wood. Presentations were hosted by the CETEM, a technical centre specialised in wood and furniture. Francisco Melero, from CETEM, also presented on wood treatments during the one day session.
