• DURABILITY OF MASS TIMBER STRUCTURES: A REVIEW OF THE BIOLOGICAL RISKS (2018, background): “However, it can also reduce mechanical properties (Boonstra et al 2007; Aro et al 2016) and does not improve resistance to termites (Shi et al 2007).”
• Wood modification by heat treatment: a review. (2009, background): “Somewhat different results were reported by Boonstra et al. (2007a).”
• Thermal treatment of wood using vegetable oils: A review (2018, background): “Lower amount of bound water in heat treated wood, increment of crystalline cellulose as well as limited movement perpendicular to the grain due to increased cross linking of lignin polymer network are also some probable explanations to the improvement in compression strength [89].”
• Thermo-hydro and thermo-hydro-mechanical wood processing: An opportunity for future environmentally friendly wood products (2013, background): “Several other investigators like Burmester (1973, 1975), Popper et al. (2005), Boonstra et al. (2007), Welzbacher et al. (2007) and Pfriem et al. (2010) have shown that the reduced hygroscopicity accompanies increased dimensional stability and increased durability.”
