1. Improving wood strength and stiffness through viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:: O'Connor, John P.
Abstract:: The objective of this research project was to increase the density, strength, and stiffness of two low to medium-density diffuse-porous hardwood species. Wood used in this study was processed using a method of wood densification known as “Viscoelastic Thermal Compression” (VTC). The VTC process is a three phase treatment which...
