This paper aims to enhance the accuracy of predicting the mechanical behavior of wood
subjected to thermal modification using an improved dung beetle optimization (IDBO) model …

Thermal modification has been commonly perceived to improve wood dimensional stability,
but decreases certain main mechanical properties. This research aimed to optimize thermal …

This research work aims to investigate the effects of thermal modification and wood cutting
direction (transverse, radial and tangential) on the content of extractives, lignin, cellulose …

Thermal modification of wood in nitrogen atmosphere permits its usability value to be
improved. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of technological modification …

Thermally modified wood is widely used in cladding, decking, and other construction
projects that are meant for outdoor exposure. The purpose of this study was to investigate …

This study investigated alterations in the lignin of pinewood (Pinus sylvestris L.) during heat
sterilization. The Klason lignin content was determined, and the dioxane lignin was isolated …

The purpose of this study was to predict the color change of heat-treated wood during
artificial weathering by an artificial neural network (ANN) model. Chemical component …

The study was undertaken to establish the thermal treatment parameters of spruce (Picea
abies L.) wood that would ensure the highest possible value of the specific modulus of …

In this research, untreated and surface-treated wooden facades of buildings are investigated
and compared with regard to durability, environmental impact, and cost using the document …

This work examines the effect of thermal modification temperatures in the production of
thermally modified wood on the cutting and fracture parameters when cutting heat-treated …
