Wood densification is aimed at reducing wood porosity through compression to improve wood surface hardness and transverse shear strength (Navi and Heger, 2004). This method has generated a lot of …
A multi-cycle Wilhelmy plate method has been developed to investigate liquid sorption, swelling and dimensional stability of wood samples. The application of this technique is exemplified by evaluation of wood …
Wood plastic composites (WPC) have gained a relatively large share in the composite market. The environmental benefits and good properties of the materials make them attractive for variety of applications. …
There is increased interest in using biobased building materials from renewable resources along with greater demands on a more sustainable built environment. The value of by-products (or components) from processing …
This work deals with the evaluation of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) made from rotary cut beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) veneers, which were treated with low molecular weight alkaline phenolic resins …
The aim of the study was to determine the optimal concentration of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) in ethanol solution for the effective wood dimensional stabilization. The object of the study was waterlogged …
The demand of the construction industry for wood-based materials is very high. A special place in the group of these products is occupied by those that are intended for use …
This study investigated the effect of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin treatment on the dimensional stabilityof birch wood. Therefore, three different low molecular weight PF resins were synthesized in 1L laboratoryreactor with …
