Thermal modification is a well-established commercial technology for improving the
dimensional stability and durability of timber. Numerous reviews of thermally modified timber …

Wood modifications are becoming popular as a way to enhance the performance of wood,
either to make it more durable, improve the performance of wood, or give it new functionality …

To improve the packaging applicability of cellulose-based film, cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol
(Cel/PVA) composite films were prepared via crosslinking the hydroxyl groups (-OH) among …

Thermal modification has been proved to be an effective approach to improve the
dimensional stability of wood, while different processes of thermal modification often …

Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically
robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of …

Heat treatment increases the decay resistance of wood by decreasing its hygroscopicity, but
the wood material remains degradable by fungi. This study investigated the degradation of …

Fast-growing wood species are unsuitable for direct use in load-bearing structures due to
their loose fiber structure, low mechanical strength, and inadequate combustion …

This study investigated variations in the chemical compositions and thermal decomposition
kinetics of Japanese cedar and beech wood during heat treatment. Fourier transform …

Wood is a green and renewable building material, however, the hygroscopicity restrict its
use in the field of construction and building. To study the effect of heat treatment (HT) on …

Heat modification (HM) can enhance the physical and mechanical properties of wood, but
conventional HM (CoHM) requires high temperatures (above 180° C) and consumes …
