Transparent wood (TW) products show great potential in green architecture, energy saving building, optical devices, electronics, energy storage, and conversion devices. The fabrication of TW products proceeds through the delignification of bulk wood samples followed by infiltration with a refractive index-matched polymer. This study is focused on <i>Paulownia tomentosa</i> (Thunb.) Steud., a fast-growing species rarely investigated, is characterized by low-density wood and a distinct early to late wood pattern in each growth ring. Delignification was performed by a conventional bleaching route. Aesthetic wood was obtained by infusing the delignified tACS omega3031-3045https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12824965biostudies-literatureToward Sustainable Aesthetic Transparent Wood from a Fast-Growing Hardwood Species: Paulownia Wood Templates Infused with Epoxy Bioresin.PMC12824965Togni MBolognesi FGalvanetto EDuranti LBianco AfalseToward Sustainable Aesthetic Transparent Wood from a Fast-Growing Hardwood Species: Paulownia Wood Templates Infused with Epoxy Bioresin.Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive renewable resource for the development of engineered materials in the framework of a green economy.
