The hygroscopic properties of thermally modified wood have been studied in terms of
adsorption and desorption processes. Poplar (Populus spp.) and European beech (Fagus …

Thermal modification of spruce wood (Picea abies L.) was conducted at three different
temperatures (160, 200, and 240 C) and treatment times (1, 3, and 5 h). The cyclic sorption …

The study concerns the conservation problem of large scale elements of irregularly
degraded archaeological wood being characterized by different susceptibility to agents …

Steaming of green timber, a common industrial process for various hardwood species,
significantly influences wood properties, including coloration and drying characteristics …

Sorption properties of paper products are important when applying paper as the packaging
material. Hydrophobicity, ie reduced affinity of paper surface to liquid water, is of particular …

The paper reports on creep of ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior L.) thermally modified at 180
and 200° C, and subsequently subjected to compression in tangential and radial directions …

The archaeological wood from the rampart of the Poznań stronghold built in the 10th century
was subjected to the investigations. The material was obtained during the excavations and …

The purpose of this study was to determine the sorption isotherms of Scots pine (Pinus
sylvestris L.) wood strands, taken from a previously prepared strand-adhesive mass, used …

This paper presents the results of an analysis of influence of the “light” steaming process on
conventional drying and colour of beech timber. A stack consisting of steamed and …

The sorption isotherms of mature and juvenile lime wood were determined for the
successive phases of the process. The Hailwood-Horrobin model was used to examine and …
