Subject: Madison Meeting
Dear IAWS Fellows,
As part of the joint meeting at Madison with IAWA, we have a special IAWS
session planned for Thursday, 24 June on Advances in Structural Composites.
The session will be moderated by Fellow Jerry Winandy. This follows the
Academy Lecture by Howard Rosen. The papers are:
Integrated biorefinery for oriented strandboard and bioenergy production
Omid Hosseinaei, Siqun Wang, Timothy G. Rials, Cheng Xing, Stephen S.
Kelley, Adam M. Taylor
Moisture-Induced Stresses in Cross Laminated Timber. Peter Niemz and Thomas
Gerke
Structural composites from modified wood. Fred Kamke, Vardan Rathi, and
Andreja Kutnar
Development of a new engineered wood product for structural applications
made from trembling aspen and paper birch laminated strandboard. Katherina
Beck, Alain Cloutier, Alexander Salenikovich, Robert Beauregard.
We still have an opening for one more paper, but I need to know as soon as
possible!
As a reminder, abstracts for papers and posters are due 1 May 1, and early
registration discount also ends 1 May.
I look forward to seeing you at this important meeting

Dear IAWA Members:
I am pleased to announce another symposium -- "Practical and scientific
efforts in support of legal logging" organized by Dr. Alex C. Wiedenhoeft,
Center for Wood Anatomy Research, Forest Products Laboratory.
The session will bring together scholars and experts from around the world
to speak about forest certification and chain of custody, international
legal logging policy, training in wood identification in support of
international treaties, and chemical and molecular tools for wood
identification and provenancing. The mixture of scientific researchers and
experts with field experience in the forests of the world promises to
provide the attendees with a robust characterization of many of the problems
posed by illegal logging, and will highlight some of the scientific and
economic solutions to those problems.
The speakers include:
Dr. Hisashi Abe, FFPRI, Japan
Dr. Peter Gasson, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, UK
Dr. Akira Kagawa, FFPRI, Japan
Dr. Gerald Koch, IWBWPFRCFFP, Germany
A representative (TBA) of the Environmental Investigation Agency, USA
Dr. Andrew Lowe, Adelaide Univesrity, Australia
Dr. Tereza Cristina Monteiro Pastore, Brazilian Forest Service, Brazil
Scott Poynton, The Forest Trust, Switzerland
Dr. Wiedenhoeft also wishes to convene a discussion group of interested
parties to discuss long-term international research collaboration,
enforcement cooperation, and information exchange in support of legal
logging; specific information about this discussion group will be
distributed when it becomes available. If you are interested in attending
being a part of this group, please feel free to contact Dr. Wiedenhoeft at
<mailto:acwieden@wisc.edu> acwieden(a)wisc.edu to communicate your interest;
this will assist in planning the logistics of the discussion group.
Please remember that abstracts for papers and posters are due May 1, 2010,
and that the early registration discount ends May 1, 2010 as well.
I am looking forward to seeing you in fair Madison, Wisconsin, this June for
what promises to be a successful and rewarding conference.

Conference on Wood & Biofiber Plastic Composites held May 11-12, 2009 and
the Cellulose Nanocomposites Symposium held May 13, 2009. Held every other
year, the conference series brings together people from research, academia,
and industry to discuss and disseminate information and ideas in the area of
woodfiber and other natural fiber-thermoplastic composite materials. The
breadth of interest in the subject and its worldwide significance are
reflected in conference participation, with 174 participants representing 15
countries attending the 2009 conference.

Formal presentations covered fundamental and applied aspects of the
fiber-plastic composites field. Keynote presenters spoke about the history
of bio-based and petroleum-based polymers, wood-plastic composite trends,
and how and why to conduct durability testing. Papers presented in Session A
covered foaming, performance, and materials. Concurrent Session B topics
included durability, products and materials, and processing. In addition,
the one-day Cellulose Nanocomposites Symposium provided an overview of
cellulose nanotechnology with a summary of research and applications.
