Wood-cement composites: a review

abstract

This paper reviews the research reported mostly in the last 10 years in the most common journals on the wood-cement composites field. The focused topics include: the problem of the compatibility (or not) between cement and woods, what causes it, ways of overcoming the problem; methods for manufacture and the properties exhibited by common wood-composites; special techniques to accelerate the curing of cement and to improve the properties of wood-cement composites; manufacture of nonwood vegetable raw materials-cement composites; durability against weathering and fungi; and construction materials. A discussion on the state-of-the-art is also presented.
