European silver fir (Abies alba L.) wood was heat-treated in an oven for 60 min at seven
different temperatures of 100 C, 150 C, 200 C, 220 C, 240 C, 260 C, and 280 C under …

The quality control of thermally modified wood and identifying heat treatment intensity using
nondestructive testing methods are critical tasks. This study used near-infrared (NIR) …

In the present work, Eucalyptus nitens was thermally modified in an open (atmospheric
pressure) and a closed (under pressure) reactor system. The effect of the changes of the …

Modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of heat-treated fir wood (abies
sp) were predicted by simple and multiple regression and artificial neural network (ANN) …

Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) wood was heat treated in an oven at temperatures of
160, 180, and 200 ºC, and under atmospheric pressure in the presence of air for a duration …

Densification parameters were investigated for the fast-growing pine and eucalyptus. Both
woods showed optimal results in terms of apparent density and mechanical properties when …

Heat treatment of wood materials is generally performed to improve the physical,
mechanical, chemical, surface, thermal, and crystallinity characteristics. In this way, the …

Currently there is a growing market for high quality solid wood products in Chile made from
Eucalyptus nitens. Thermal modifications have been used to obtain such products out of fast …

This experimental investigation aims to study the influence of temperature on natural fibers
mechanical performance and on its interface to cement based systems. Natural sisal fiber …

This paper deals with the effect of synthetic and natural flame retardants on flammability
characteristics and chemical changes in thermally treated meranti wood (Shorea spp.). The …
