Control of wood thermal treatment and its effects on decay resistance: a review (2016, unknown): “Spectroscopic analyses such as NIR or FT-IR are able to give information on the process extent (by estimating mass loss) and on the properties that are relevant for this wood modification and for the uses of heat treated wood (i.e. EMC, dimensional stability, and decay resistance), by an overall a s”
Thermogravimetric analysis of wood, holocellulose, and lignin from five wood species (2012, background): “This behavior was related to the fact that cellulose is highly crystalline and hemicelluloses and lignin are amorphous [13].”
Wood modification technologies - a review (2017, methodology): “Like untreated wood, acetylated wood is comprised only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and contains no toxic constituents (Hill 2006).”
Understanding decay resistance, dimensional stability and strength changes in heat-treated and acetylated wood (2009, methodology): “Including Staypak and Stabwood in the United States (using dry wood); Lignostone and Lignofol from Germany (using dry wood), Jicwood and Jablo from the UK, Thermowood in Finland (using water vapour), Plato in The Netherlands (using water), Perdure from Canada (using steam), Oil Heat Treated (OHT) fr”
Thermo-hydro and thermo-hydro-mechanical wood processing: An opportunity for future environmentally friendly wood products (2013, background): “In general, hardwoods are less thermally stable than softwoods, and this is attributable to differences in the hemicellulose content and composition (Hill 2006).”
The water vapour sorption properties of thermally modified and densified wood (2012, background): “The trends in modulus are consistent with the effects of moderate thermal modification which is well known to increase the modulus of elasticity of wood [1].”
A review of wood thermal pretreatments to improve wood composite properties (2013, unknown): “Currently, thermal treatment is the process most advanced commercially among the wood modification processes (Hill 2006).”
Phenol–formaldehyde impregnation of densified wood for improved dimensional stability (2010, background): “PF resins increase dimensional stability by penetrating and swelling the cell wall (Stamm and Seborg 1936; Stamm and Elwin 1953; Farmer1967), reducing hygroscopicity (Hill 2006), and forming a rigid cross-linked network upon curing (Stamm 1959).”
DURABILITY OF MASS TIMBER STRUCTURES: A REVIEW OF THE BIOLOGICAL RISKS (2018, background): “The two most common forms are acetylation, where acetic anhydride is reacted with wood, and furfurylation, where furfural alcohol is polymerized in the wood (Lande et al 2004; Hill 2006).”
