Wood is an ideal building material as it is renewable and green. However, low dimensional
stability and durability might restrict its usage in structural application. Therefore …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

Although linseed oil (LO) has been used in wood protection for centuries, research
continues to develop new and more effective formulations and treatment approaches. In the …

The biocomposites were produced by layering sequence of pure sisal fiber mat (SSSS),
pure hemp fiber mat (HHHH), and their hybrid mats and then subjected to accelerated …

Heat-treated wood, a relatively new product treated at high temperatures of 180–260° C,
possesses new versatile and attractive properties, which makes it popular for outdoor …

This study aimed to determine and compare the effects of heat treatment in palm oil and air
on the physical and mechanical properties of Paulownia tomentosa and Pinus koraiensis …

Effect of artificial weathering on the wood surface color modifications of three North
American species (jack pine, aspen, and birch) heat-treated under different temperatures …

Natural wood, being biological material, undergoes rapid degradation by ultraviolet (UV)
radiations and other environmental factors under outdoor exposure. In order to protect wood …

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the changes in moisture content, color, surface
roughness, compression strength parallel to grain, modulus of rupture and modulus of …

Renewable building materials may partially offset the intensive use of materials from finite
resources, with the advantage of biodegradability and carbon take-up. Thermally modified …
