Chemical modification of wood : dimensional stabilization of viscoelastic thermal compressed wood

Creator:

Gabrielli, Christopher P.

Abstract:

The tendency of wood to shrink and swell with changing moisture content remains as one of the most significant challenges to using wood in its many applications. Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) has been shown to significantly increase the density, strength and stiffness of wood. However, dimensional stability is still a...
