As a renewable and low-price material, wood has been used extensively in the construction,
furniture and other fields. However, the mechanical strength of most wood species is …

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the
last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due …

Modification of wood is a method that is used to improve the material properties of wood by
altering its chemical nature and in a broader sense it is also a passive process, where …

Compressed wood, which is formed by a process that increases the wood's density, aims to
improve its strength and dimensional stability. Compressed wood can be used in building …

The thermo-hygromechanical densification process changes the chemical composition and
the physical and mechanical properties of wood. The aim of this work was to study the …

For wood and forest products to reach their full potential as structural materials, experimental
techniques are needed to measure mechanical properties across all length scales …

In this work, the effect of oil heat treatment (OHT) on the swelling properties and changes in
