This study shows how the air permeability of thermally modified wood contributes to its water-
repellent efficiency. For this purpose, freshly cut boards of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) …

Heat treatment can change wood color without any use of environmentally harmful
chemicals, and the efficiency of this process depends on the raw material to be treated. The …

Fibre direction cylindrical specimens from the sapwood and heartwood areas of Paulownia
wood were heat treated at 180, 190, and 200° C split in eight groups of ten specimens each …

This study describes the effect of heat treatment on some physical, chemical, and
mechanical properties of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis (EC) wood at different temperatures …
