Physical and mechanical properties and resistance to fungi of Scots pine and birch wood modified thermally and using natural oil

摘要: Thermal modification and impregnation with natural oils may improve functional properties of wood. However, to a great extent changes in wood depend on the conditions thermal process method type amount oil used. The Wood Technology Institute Poznan conducted research which joined introduction into aim was identify Scots pine birch subjected such modification. This paper presents results determinations effect thermo-oil treatment its strength, equilibrium moisture content, resistance fungi. It observed that some improved Basidiomycotina fungi increased, even after accelerated ageing by evaporation or leaching water.
