Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:

Rathi, Vardan M.

Abstract:

The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...
