Microstructure of thermally modified radiata pine wood [PDF]
BioResources, 2020 The thermal modification of wood is a potential alternative method for improving wood dimensional stability and increasing the resistance of wood to decay. However, during thermal modification, morphological changes occur within the microstructure of the cell, and these confer different properties to the wood. This study investigated the effects of the

Mode of action of brown rot decay resistance in modified wood: A review [PDF]
, 2013 Chemically or physically modified wood materials have enhanced resistance to wood decay fungi. In contrast to treatments with traditional wood preservatives, where the resistance is caused mainly by the toxicity of the chemicals added, little is known ...

Critical moisture conditions for fungal decay of modified wood by basidiomycetes as detected by pile tests [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of cell wall modification is to keep wood moisture content (MC) below favorable conditions for decay organisms. However, thermally modified, furfurylated, and acetylated woods partly show higher MCs than untreated wood in outdoor exposure.

Durability of Thermally Modified Western Hemlock Lumber Against Wood Decay Fungi
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 The chemical modification of wood is gaining popularity as a treatment to increase wood durability, particularly in jurisdictions where restrictions on the use of chemical impregnation are increasing. This work measures the impact of thermal modification

Thermal behaviour of modified wood fibers
Polymer Testing, 1998 Wood-fibers were modified by silanes treatments and/or by coating with polypropylene or polystyrene. Enhancement in thermal stability of wood fibers treated with γ-aminopropyl triethoxy silane and in fibers coated with polypropylene or polystyrene are discussed. Thermoanalytical data (TGA, TMA and DSC) of the samples may aid to predict the behaviour of

Hardness of thermally modified beech wood and hornbeam wood
Šumarski list, 2019 There is increasing number of products made of termally modified wood (mainly floor coverings) in wood market. Thermal modification at temperatures above 160 °C in oxygen free environment is known to alter the physical and mechanical properties of wood, among others.

Electrical resistance characteristics of thermally modified wood
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2022 AbstractThis paper presents electrical resistance characteristics of ThermoWood® Thermo-D Norway spruce for wood moisture content measurements below fibre saturation point. Electrical resistance along the grain of small clear wood specimens was measured at various moisture content levels of ~ 4–15% for thermally modified and ~ 5–25% for unmodified ...
