Impregnation of wood with certain chemical compounds, such as polymers, is a way of improving the material in regards of its dimensional stability, durability or certain mechanical properties. However, depending on the chemical, as well as the species and its permeability, the result is often not quite homogeneous. This study examines the effect of two varying thermal treatments on the impregnability of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) with furfuryl alcohol (FA), and on the resulting Anti-Swelling-Efficiency (ASE).
Keywords: sycamore maple, thermal modification, furfuryl alcohol, WPG, ASE
