Fracture toughness of wood and transparent wood biocomposites in the toughest LT-direction

Fracture toughness and mechanisms of crack growth are characterized for transparent wood polymer biocomposites and compared to native wood, with the crack normal to the fiber direction (LT fracture plane). Side-grooved specimen geometries generated pure mode I crack growth, whereas previous investig...
