Short Summary
The present volume “Modified Wood – Properties and Markets” summarises the results of an interdisciplinary project at the University of Agricultural Sciences (BOKU) regarding the issue “Wood Modification”.
Apart from extensive studies of literature on the various kinds of wood modification and a detailed view of the modification processes, current results of a test series regarding thermal and chemical modification are introduced and its influence on selected wood properties (e.g. strength properties, swelling/shrinkage, durability) is analysed. Based on these results parameters for the modification efficiency are discussed.
In a general cross-sectorial project the market potential of modified wood in selected market fields such as windows and facades are evaluated. Contents with downloads
