Glueing parameter optimization of bark panels
Bark is that material which is used by plant to protect itself against all degradation agents (e.g. sunlight, rain, wind, fungi, bacteria, animals) therefore this material has developed highly interesting protective properties. In particular it was observed that bark has a low thermal conductivity and so it can be used for the production of natural insulating boards.
