Work by LEPABE team is highlighted as cover paper

Posted on June 2nd, 2023

The article "Forest by-Product Valorization: Pilot-Scale Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus Bark Mixture Extraction" is the cover image of the last issue of Forests (Volume 14), a journal from MDPI.

This paper resulted from the work developed by Dr. Jorge Santos, Prof. Jorge Martins and Prof. Luísa H. Carvalho, from the Processes, Products and Energy group of LEPABE. In this paper, a mixture of extracts from E. globulus and P. radiata barks were obtained and characterized. It was also demonstrated the bioadhesive properties of the formulation for particleboard manufacture as potential application.
