Accelerating thermal decomposition of wood cell wall with glycerol

Thermal modification reduces the hygroscopicity of timber potentially reducing susceptibility to biological degradation, but it is also energetically intensive. Identifying methods for accelerating the process could reduce these inputs. The potential effects of glycerol pretreatment on thermal modif...
