Pressure measurement in wood as a method to understand impregnation processes : conventional and supercritical carbon dioxide

Creator:

Schneider, Philip F.

Abstract:

Two approaches to improving wood treatability include the modification of pressure schedules during conventional liquid treatments and the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs). In both of these techniques, pressure differences are important for transporting materials into wood. The level of pressure and its change during SCF treatments are also important...

Dissertation
Development of a test method for assessing water repellency and derived physical stability of preservative systems for railroad ties

Creator:

Beck, H. Greeley

Abstract:

Resistance to moisture uptake is an important attribute of some wood preservatives and can help reduce moisture cycling that leads to the development of deep checks. While the potential for preservative treatments to help improve wood/moisture interactions is acknowledged, there are no tests that specifically evaluate this performance parameter. Checking...
