Student zone

The Scientific Circle of Wood Technologists is an association of young and ambitious people who want to learn and develop issues related to the broadly understood wood industry. We operate at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, at the Faculty of Wood Technology (one of two such units in Poland). By developing our interests, we learn about modern techniques of designing, manufacturing and protecting wood. We also do not forget about the legacy of craftsmen from previous eras. We try to explore their artistry and archive their achievements. The most pleasant, however, is the fact that we can work with such a graceful and beautiful material as wood.

The Chemical Group of Wood Technologists at the Faculty of Wood Technology of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Warsaw was established on June 6, 2011, thanks to the initiative of wood technology students who wanted to develop scientifically in the field of wood chemistry and wood materials chemistry.

Thanks to the activity in the circle, students have the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge, skills and develop their interests. Which allows students to go to foreign conferences with their results in the form of a presentation or poster after conducting the research.

The Chemical Group of Wood Technologists deals with the following topics:

Research planned to be implemented by members of the circle:

Checking the fire-resistance of MDF board after varnishing with CERAKOTE ceramic paint (https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/)

Study of absorption of heavy metals from sewage by wood chips

Wood impregnation and playing with pigments

Saturation of wood with resins – analysis of material flammability, color changes, resistance to biological and chemical factors

Coloring of resins with pigments

Embedding insects in resins

Modifications of wood with polymers

Research in progress by members of the club:

Investigation of the influence of wood species and pyrolysis conditions on the formed carbon

Testing of black powder made from coal from an earlier study.

Water absorption and swelling of black poplar (POPULUS NIGRA L.) modified with styrene by polymerization in lumen

Continuation of the study of the influence of the temperature of the steam explosion on the content of metallic inhibitors in the wood of genetically modified poplar – analysis of the post-blast material

Wheel Guardian – from 06/06/2011 the tutor was dr inż. Andrzej Radomski has been awarded the Master of Education three times in the plebiscite. Twice in the Master of Science Circles category and once in the Master of Personality category.

Building 34, room. 2 / 24B campus of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences

The Students’ Circle of Wood Technology Photographers at the Faculty of Wood Technology of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences was established 3. June 2011 (previously it was a section at the Wood Technologists Science Club).

Students of the Wood Technology Photographers’ Club deepen their interests mainly in the field of digital studio photography, including macroscopic and microscopic photography (e.g. photos of the structure of wood and wood materials, the effects of surface refinement of these materials, the impact of lighting on visual effects, interior design), as well as image analysis and processing techniques (eg practical application of computer programs to “clean” old photos and documents). As part of popularizing the scientific achievements of the Society, competitions and exhibitions are organized, as well as posters, papers and a model of wooden objects at the Scientific Circles reviews.

Lemko Chyża from Bartne from the beginning of the 20th century. it is a regional cultural heritage and is entered in the register of monuments. Its model was made in 1:25 scale by Marcin Nowacki, Anna Michalska and Tomasz Pepłowski under the supervision of Dr. Eng. Piotr Mańkowski. This work was awarded at the XL Review of the Achievements of Scientific Circles of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) (presented in the engineering section on December 13, 2013).

Chairman: Valerjan Romanovski; e-mail: valerjan_romanovski@sggw.edu.pl

Vice-chairwoman: Patrycja Zatoń

Secretary: Jakub Wiśniewski

Tutor: Dr hab. Inż. Paweł Kozakiewicz, Prof. SGGW

The CNC Machine Tool Group focuses on two directions of activity: research and practical-design.

The research field was created for younger adepts of wood industry who would like to develop scientifically (engineering thesis, master’s thesis) and gain knowledge in such a dynamically developing and undoubtedly future-oriented field of technology, programming, use and diagnostics of CNC machine tools.

On the other hand, the practical-design direction was intended to create the possibility of real work with real CNC machine tools (which our department has at its disposal), i.e. a simulation: from an idea, design to a tangible, full-value product.

We move with the times and we are interested in new technologies. Our wheel has a Prusa Mendel 3D printer at its disposal, which prints with a wood-polymer composite.

We are also working on our own small training CNC machine, which we build ourselves. DIY or “do it yourself” is a great way to expand your theoretical knowledge with a piece of practice and have fun at the same time.

The Furniture Science Club at the Faculty of Wood Technology of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences was established on January 11, 2017 thanks to the initiative of Furniture Industry students who want to develop their skills in the field of furniture and interior design.

Through activity in our Science Club, we gain experience and create our own portfolio, necessary to build a professional career. We also expand our theoretical and practical knowledge in the technological and design process of furniture production. An important element of our activity is also participation in fairs, conventions and conferences.

Program and scope of activities of the Furniture Science Club:

The premise for the formation of the Furniture Science Club at WTD SGGW in Warsaw was the desire to develop students’ interests, especially in the field of Furniture, in the extra-curricular scope:

• Practical use and verification of the knowledge gained during the study of wood and its processing techniques,
• Abilities to prepare for work and use classic carpentry tools, engineering furniture design, including the use of Solid Works, AutoCAD, CORPUS software
• Implementation of selected furniture and other interior design projects
• Solving engineering problems of a scientific nature in the field of furniture
• Learning the basics of perspective drawing
• Participation in seminars and scientific conferences.
• Preparing the publication
• Participation in research, teaching and learning trips.
• Cooperation with other research clubs and enterprises from the furniture industry
• The completion of diploma theses by members related to the activities of the Society as well as student projects

The supervisor of the Furniture Science Club is dr hab. Inż. Grzegorz Kowaluk.
