NANOMAD Project
The project studies the influence of the incorporation of nanoparticles of metallic nano-oxides and nanoclays internally on the properties of natural wood veneers and wood-based panels, paying special attention to their fire behaviour.

Main Activities
• To analyse the effectiveness of the treatment of wood-based panels and natural wood veneers to improve their fire performance.
• To establish the effects produced by the treatment on the properties of the materials, which are relevant for their subsequent application.
Expected results:
To determine whether internal treatment with nanotechnology can be an alternative to current treatments for fireproofing wood.
To understand the influence of the incorporation of nanotechnology on the intrinsic and surface properties of natural wood veneers and derived boards.
Detect the improvements produced by treatment with nanotechnology.
To understand the influence of nanotechnology treatment on fire behaviour.
To understand the effects produced by treatment with nanotechnology on the behaviour in finishing and gluing processes.
