This paper deals with the evaluation of thermally treated wood by near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy. In the NIR second derivative spectrum, the absorption band at 6913 cm− 1 …

Influence of steaming on various mechanical and physical properties of two European
(Robinia pseudoacacia L., Quercus robur L.) and two tropical (Intsia bijuga, Hymenolobium …

This study investigated the changes in the color of wood with heat treatment after exposure
to light at various conditions. The change with exposure is attributed to the decomposition of …

In our study beech (Fagus silvatica L.) samples containing white and red heartwood were
steamed to obtain colour homogenisation. Wide range of steaming temperatures (80–120 C) …

For colour homogenisation three hardwood species, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.),
beech (Fagus silvatica L.) and Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) were investigated. Steaming …

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), beech red heartwood (Fagus sylvatica L.) and
spruce (Picea abies Karst.) wood samples were treated in saturated steam at 100, 110 and …

Colour changes of wood caused by sunlight exposure in indoor applications are a major
down-grading factor and have a substantial economical impact on high valuable wood …

Within this chapter several methods are presented related to the utilization of natural plant
dyes for the coloration of wood and wood-based products. Two completely different …

Hydrothermal treatment of wood, especially steaming, is often used to achieve more
intensive and homogenous colour of wood or to vary its hue. On cherrywood (Prunus avium …

To apply the coloring method using light irradiation and thermal treatment to print
photographs on wood, the effect of the transmittance of negative films was investigated. ΔE …
