The Effects of Thermal Modification on the Properties of Two Vietnamese Bamboo Species, Part I: Effects on Physical Properties

“…The mass loss increased with the increase in treatment temperature and/or duration. Similar results for wood have been obtained in different studies by Esteves et al (2008), Zaman et al (2000), Todorovic et al (2012), Alén et al (2002), Dubey et al (2011), Hill (2006, and Vu and Li (2010).…”

“…Therefore, no reproducible processes have been established in Vietnam. However, in recent years many studies on thermal modification of different wood species have been carried out in Europe, North America, and Asia to analyze the changes in physical properties (Kamdem et al 2002;Militz 2002;Alen et al 2002;Esteves et al 2008;Schnabel et al 2007;Borrega and Kärenlampi 2007, Pfriem et al 2009Todorovic et al 2012) and chemical composition (Tjeerdsma et al 1998, Boonstra andTjeerma (2006), Windeisen et al 2009) and to improve the dimensional stability and biological durability of wood (Burmester 1975;Edvardsen and Sandland 1999;Militz 2002;Kamden et al 2002;Hill 2006;Dubey et al 2011). But for bamboo there exist few results in this field.…”

Modification of static bending strength properties of Eucalyptus grandis heat-treated wood

“…Hemicellulose is the most hygroscopic component of wood 1 and its decomposition has intense relation with the increase in dimensional stability and water repellence of heat-treated wood at high temperatures [16][17][18][19] . The degradation of hemicellulose is predominant in temperatures below 200 °C 20 .…”

Alteração da cor da madeira de teca por tratamento térmico

“…A variação de cada coordenada foi determinada pela diferença entre o valor da coordenada da madeira original (não tratada) e o valor da coordenada da madeira tratada, tal como realizado por outros autores (Sundqvist & Morén, 2002;Oyarce, 2006;González-Pena & Hale, 2009;Dubey et al, 2011).…”
