The primary issues restricting fast-growing wood utilization in buildings are its low
dimensional stability and lack of strength grading. Thermal treatment has been shown to …

Thermal modification of wood is an environment-friendly alternative method for improving
several properties of wood without the use of chemicals. This paper deals with the …

This paper studied the effect of thermal treatment (160 C, 180 C, and 210 C), based on
ThermoWood® principle, on the color and chemical properties of teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) …

This paper presents the shades of color of Quercus robur L. wood obtained in the processes
of thermal treatment and color modification by saturated water vapor, with temperatures: tI …

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 …

The aim of this pioneering study was to compare and evaluate two different pre-treatment
processes of wooden surfaces prior to varnishing by sanding or thermal compression in …

The wood of five European species: black poplar (Populus nigra L.), European beech
(Fagus sylvatica L.), European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), European oak (Quercus robur L.) …

The wood of maple (Acer Pseudopatanus L.) was steamed with a saturated steam-air
mixture at a temperature of t= 95° C or saturated steam at t= 115° C and t= 135° C, in order …

In this contribution, the color of dry beech wood from the zone, sapwood, mature wood and
false heartwood of Fagus sylvatica L. trees was analyzed, and the measurement values …
