Physical and mechanical properties of wood thermally modified in organic oils

Abstract

In this paper, the following values of the physical and mechanical properties of thermally modified wood in organic oils of: water absorption, deliquescence, the maximum shrinkage, the MOR in static bending, compression and shear parallel to grain, the MOE in static bending. Raising the temperature and time of thermal modification leads to a deterioration of the mechanical and physical properties of the wood better. It is concluded that the operation of a suitable timber under low mechanical stress, or in their absence, as well as in conditions of high humidity.
