发明Wood的超级木头,重量比钢强,碳足迹比钢更低90%,现在可以商业方式用于建造。 InventWood's Superwood, stronger than steel by weight and 90% lower in carbon footprint, is now commercially available for construction.

由材料科学家Liangbing Hu开发的、商业上可得到的比钢重量强10倍、比钢重量轻6倍的材料 " 超级木 " 。 InventWood has launched Superwood, a commercially available material up to 10 times stronger than steel by weight and six times lighter, developed by material scientist Liangbing Hu. 该工艺化学处理和热压木,以强化其纤维素,消除粘合剂,增强强度、耐久性、火力、昆虫和真菌抗药性。 The process chemically treats and hot-presses wood to densify its cellulose, eliminating adhesives and enhancing strength, durability, and fire, insect, and fungus resistance. 它最初用于诸如甲板和罩板等户外应用,不久可能取代内部建筑中的金属。 Initially used for outdoor applications like decking and cladding, it may soon replace metal in internal construction. 由各种木种和竹制成,超木的碳足迹比钢的碳足迹低90%,尽管生产能源使用量较高。 Made from various wood species and bamboo, Superwood has a 90% lower carbon footprint than steel despite higher production energy use. 这项创新得到140多个专利的支持,可以支持可持续、更高的木材建筑,并减少对混凝土和钢材的依赖。 The innovation, backed by over 140 patents, could support sustainable, taller timber buildings and reduce reliance on concrete and steel.
