Professor Phil Evans will introduce engineered wood composites and describes why they are displacing solid wood in many applications. Source: Timberbiz
He will describe recent innovations in the manufacture and applications of engineered wood composites, drawing upon examples from North America and Europe.
He will also explain the hybrid wood polymer composites that can extend the reach of wood and wood composites into more demanding exterior applications.
He briefly describes the culture, policies and environment that have fostered innovation by the North American and European industry, and he concludes the seminar by describing some of the challenges that remain to develop wood and bio-based composites that can compete more effectively with the energy (carbon) intensive materials that still dominate the built environment.
This workshop is intended for the structural engineers, builders and architects looking for an opportunity to learn about timber composites, Wood Protection and Performance of Exterior Coatings.
The seminar is on Tuesday 6 December from 9.30am – 4.30pm at the Oval classroom, Business School, Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, University of Technology SydneyDue to the size of the venue, a limited number of seats will be available.
