Structural Changes of Oak Wood Main Components Caused by Thermal Modification.

TL;DR: The results showed that hemicelluloses are less thermally stable than cellulose, which should be considered into account especially when designing various timber constructions.

An artificial neural network model for predicting compression strength of heat treated woods and comparison with a multiple linear regression model

TL;DR: In this article, an artificial neural network model was designed to predict compression strength parallel to grain of heat treated wood without doing comprehensive experiments, and the results indicated that the model provided better prediction results compared to the multiple linear regression model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of hydrothermally treated wood in relation to changes on its chemical composition and physical properties

TL;DR: In this article, the modification of wood by hydrothermal treatments causes characteristic changes in its chemical composition and the determination of these specific changes was carried out by wet and instrumental chemical analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of heat treatment on the properties of bamboo scrimber

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated physical characteristic, mechanical properties, and chemical composition of heat-treated bamboo scrimbers for 2-h. Specimens were heated at 50-230°C in laboratory conditions for 2 hours and the results of heat treatment samples were compared with the controls.

Cellulose microfibril angle in the cell wall of wood fibres

TL;DR: The variation of MFA within the tree and the biological reason for the large differences found between juvenile (or core) wood and mature (or outer) wood are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical and chemical behavior of spruce wood modified by heat

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of heat treatment on compression strength of spruce wood (Picea orientalis ) were examined and changes in the chemical structure of the treated wood were determined by analyzing contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
Journal Article

Steam or Heat Fixation of Compressed Wood

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of steaming and heat on the fixation of compression set in wood was investigated and it was shown that almost complete fixation can be achieved by steaming compressed wood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding decay resistance, dimensional stability and strength changes in heat-treated and acetylated wood

TL;DR: The cell-wall moisture content is too low in acetylated wood to support fungal attack so the initial enzymic attack starting the colonization does not take place as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of heat treatment on physical and technological properties and surface roughness of Camiyani Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana var. pallasiana) wood.

TL;DR: Camiyani Black Pine wood could be utilized by using proper heat treatment techniques without any losses in strength values in areas where working, stability, and surface smoothness, such as in window frames, are important factors.
