Effect of Moderate Temperature Thermal Modification Combined with Wax Impregnation on Wood Properties

Thermal modification (TM) improves the hydrophobicity, dimensional stability, and durability of wood, but TM commonly results in severe color change and mechanical strength loss as wood is treated at higher temperature. In this study, <i>Pterocarpus macrocarpus</i> Kurz wood was thermall...
