Undebarked ponderosa pine chips were treated by hot water extraction to modify the chemical composition. In the treated pine (TP), the mass was reduced by approximately 20 %, and the extract was composed mainly of degradation ...

This study aims to investigate chemical, physical, mechanical and surface properties of Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus cloeziana wood subjected to different treatments of freezing and heat. To achieve this, six trees ...

This study investigated the effect of thermal treatment technique, used in two treatment conditions: treated wood in an autoclave and after conditioning, subject to the treatment under electric heater (combination), and ...

Thermomechanical treatments seek to increase the wood density, throught of the temperature and pressure combination, which results in a material with improved physical and mechanical properties. Thus, the study aimed to ...

O estudo da higroscopicidade é indispensável para o entendimento da trabalhabilidade, estabilidade dimensional, resistência mecânica e durabilidade natural da madeira. Neste trabalho objetivou-se a avaliação do teor de ...

The genera Corymbia and Eucalyptus although used by industries face limitations such as high levels of growth stresses, drying problems and high shrinkage. Thus, methods such as heat treatment are studied to improve these ...
