Abstract:The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of acetylation on the technological characteristics of Jacaranda copaia (Aubl.) D. Don. wood. Physical (apparent and basic densities, water absorption, and thickness swelling) and mechanical (Rockwell hardness) properties were evaluated. Wood acetylation was carried out by immersion of samples in acetic anhydride; five treatments were evaluated: control (no acetylation), acetylation for 2 hours, acetylation for 4 hours, acetylation for 6 hours, and acetylat… Show more
