In this study, poplar and black pine wood was exposed to short thermal treatments, aiming to
improve some crucial properties. Using wet chemical analyses and Fourier-transform …

Changes in the condition of existing timber structures can be caused by fatigue or biological
attack, among other things. Replacing damaged timber is still very expensive, so it seems …

Wood, notably in the forms of sawn lumber and glued laminated (glulam) timber, serves as a
prevalent structural material for lightweight constructions and bridges with short spans. Over …

Heat treatment effects on surface properties of wild cherry (Prunus avium) including surface
roughness, glossiness, and color stability were evaluated. Samples were exposed to a …

This paper deals with the examination of colour and colour changes of oak wood. The colour
parameters (L*, a*, b*, and ΔE*) were determined by the CIE-L* a* b* colour space on native …

The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of various temperatures of thermal
modification and sanding treatment on the color change of sessile oak, Norway spruce, and …

Glulam columns and beams are structural wood engineering products, which are formed by
gluing the timbers together in parallel with the help of glue and are widely used in the …

In this study, each of the commonly used two types of woods (softwood and hardwood) from
five species was studied. All wood species show a systematic trend to change to higher …

(Quercus petraea Liebl.), ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), cherry
(Prunus avium L.), and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) were treated at high …

The effect of heat treatment on the surface colour and hygroscopic properties of pine wood
were investigated in this study. Boards of Scots pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) were …
