“…To improve the dimensional stability and durability of natural wood, various methods of modifications have been utilized (Fadl and Basta 2005;Nicholson and Hoffman 2006;Park and Wilderman 2010), including physical treatment and chemical modification (Avramidis et al 2011). Physical modification can be achieved through thermal treatment, which imparts excellent performance in water repellency and prevents the wood from deformation.…”

Green fir wood (Pseudotsuga menziesii) was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to produce wood composites for energy storage and conversion. The PEG-modified wood composites were evaluated based on their dimensional stability, durability, and thermal properties by various analytical methods. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed the melting temperature and the latent heat of the phase change material (PCM) composite were 26.74 °C and 73.59 J/g, respectively. Thermal cycling tests and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the composite exhibited good thermal stability, reliability, and chemical stability. All treated specimens were free from noticeable defects, and the addition of a surface varnish coating prevented PEG from leaching. The PEG-modified composites exhibited improved dimensional and thermal performance, which makes this material a potential candidate for economical and green, lightweight building materials.

“…Avramidis et al [56] found a positive effect of plasma on the adhesion between polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) glue and beech wood pre-treated with synthetic waxes or montan-ester waxes, because a force in the sensitive peel test increased by about 50-60%. This result is not entirely in agreement with the results of our experiment, where the plasma modification of spruce wood pre-treated with fungicide not unequivocally increased the adhesion of acrylic and alkyd coatings (see Tables 2-4).…”

The adhesion strength between the transparent acrylic or alkyd coatings and the Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst L.) wood was determined by EN ISO 4624 and analyzed concerning four variables: (a) fungicidal pre-treatment of wood with boric acid or benzalkonium chloride, (b) cold plasma modification of wood surfaces, (c) presence of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) or hydroxyphenyl-benzotriazoles (BTZ) in the role of UV-additives in coatings, and (d) weathering of coated wood—lasting 1 week in Xenotest by a modified EN 927-6, or 14, 28 and 42 weeks outdoors at 45° by EN 927-3. In the un-weathered state, the adhesion strength was positively affected by the initial plasma modification of wood surfaces, more evident with the application of acrylic water-borne coatings. On the contrary, the adhesion strength was not influenced by the fungicidal pre-treatment of wood and by the UV-additive’s presence in coatings. The adhesion was negatively affected by weathering—exponentially outdoor—irrespective of the fungicidal pre-treatment of wood, the plasma modification of wood surfaces, the coating type, and the presence of UV-additive in coatings.

“…Although wood drying improves wood dimensional stability (Liu et al 2019a), it cannot meet further requirements of rose wood production. The dimensional stability can be improved by many ways (Beck et al 2017, Joffre et al 2017, Moghaddam et al 2016, Liu et al 2019b, Ozkan et al 2017) which generally can be classified into chemical modification and physical modification (Altgen et al 2016, Avamidis et al 2011, Hosseinpourpia et al 2017). Although chemical modification can obtain good results of dimensional stability, it can be harmful for human health and environment (Chen et al 2008).…”

In order to improve dimensional stability and control deformation, heat treatment (HT) and wax impregnation (WI) were conducted to large size boards (LB) of Pterocarpus macrocarpus and the tangential swelling were compared in various relative humidity (RH) conditions. The results show that the tangential swelling and shrinking of control group and treated group performed differently corresponded to various relative humidity (RH). Comparing with control group, the swelling ratio of HT combined WI group was much less, and followed by 180°C-3h HT group. The maximum swelling ratio decreased by 31% and 29% in humidity chamber and indoor conditions respectively. The swelling ratio was affected by size of samples, LB showed smaller welling ratio than small sample. Wax filled in cell cavities and presented uneven distributions after impregnation. The rate of wood hygroscopicity was reduced after HT combined WI treatment which was an effective method on improvement of wood dimensional stability.
