Environmental Impact of Wood Modification [PDF]
Coatings, 2021 The modification of wood involves extra processing over and above what is associated with un-modified material and this will involve an associated environmental impact. There is now a body of information on this due to the presence in the public domain of a number of environmental product declarations (EPDs).

Wood Modification as a Tool to Understand Moisture in Wood [PDF]
Forests, 2021 Moisture plays a central role in the performance of wood products because it affects important material properties such as the resistance to decomposition, the mechanical properties, and the dimensions. To improve wood performance, a wide range of wood modification techniques that alter the wood chemistry in various ways have been described in the ...

Review of Wood Modification and Wood Functionalization Technologies
Forests, 2022 Wood modifications are becoming popular as a way to enhance the performance of wood, either to make it more durable, improve the performance of wood, or give it new functionality as a multifunctional or smart material. While wood modifications have been examined since the early 1900s, the topic has become a dominant area of study in wood science over ...

Effects of chemical modification and nanotechnology on wood properties
Nanotechnology Reviews, 2021 As a green material, wood is widely used in building decoration, railway construction, and other fields. However, the wood itself has inherent defects of being easy to absorb water and deform, rot, and decrease in strength.
