                                                                                                              NEW YORK: (Web Desk) Research into sustainable and eco-friendly building materials has been going on for years and now engineering wood has been engineered to make it eco-friendly as its construction emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, then the process of making cement itself is also very harmful to the environment, thus strong wood will not only be useful for the house and building but will also absorb carbon dioxide from the side. Now, scientists at Rice University have injected building wood with highly permeable particles that are made of 'metal-organic frameworks (MOFS)', pulling out the underlying structure already within the wood. has been done to absorb carbon dioxide. Wood is generally made up of three components: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, the latter of which gives the wood its color and becomes colorless upon removal. The experts first removed the lignin and then added the MOF, now the fine particles of the MOF settled into the cellulose and became part of it. These MOFs, first developed by Professor George Shimizu of the University of Calgary in Canada, when mixed with wood, surprisingly became stronger than ordinary wood and even began to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. In this way, engineered wood is not only stronger than before, but it has also become an eco-friendly product that absorbs carbon. According to experts, this process is very simple and cost-effective, which gives great potential to the wood with minor changes.
