Wood is an ideal building material as it is renewable and green. However, low dimensional
stability and durability might restrict its usage in structural application. Therefore …

In recent years, China is increasingly dependent on imported wood. Afrormosia and
Newtonia are some of the imported species with good utilization potential. However, both of …

The effects of mechanical densification on density, Brinell hardness, bending strength
(MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and compression strength (CS) of thermally pretreated …

Kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC), obtained as a by-product of tea fermentation, has
potential applications in diverse fields. The high water content and presence of post …

This study investigates the effects of different wood varnishes on the surface color properties
of heat treated wood. Samples prepared from Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) and Scots …

The chemical properties, dimensional stability, mechanical strength and termite resistance of
urea formaldehyde (UF) bond rubberwood (RW) particleboard (PB) were assessed after a …

This study was conducted to investigate some surface properties of wood specimens of heat
treated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) after weathering such as surface hardness, surface …

The objective of this study was to evaluate some of the properties of densified eastern
redcedar as function of temperature and pressure. Surface quality, adhesive bondline shear …

Densification modification is an effective method to improve many properties of wood.
However, densified wood is sensitive to humidity and is not dimensionally stable. The effect …

Beech (Fagus sylvaticaL.) and pine (Pinus sylvestrisL.) wood specimens were heat-treated
separately at three different temperatures (170 C, 190 C, and 210 C) with steam treatment …
