Wood pellets are an economic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly alternative to the fossil fuels available. Both new and residual wood is used to supply the pellet production, and new raw material resources are ...

In this study, the effect of treatment time on dimensional stability, moisture content, and mechanical properties of heat-treated Anatolian chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) were investigated. Test specimens were subjected ...

In its wise use, many properties of wood are important. Among these properties, wood abrasion resistance (AR) and withdrawal capacity of screws (WCS) are deemed to be relatively signifi cant. It is well know that heat ...

Changes in the chemical structure of hornbeam and uludag fir woods during thermal treatment were investigated at three temperatures (170, 190, and 210 oC) and three durations (4, 8, and 12 hours). After thermal treatment, ...

In this study, the effects of heat treatment on color, mass loss, compression strength, and hardness of Uludag fir (Abies bornmulleriana Mattf.) were investigated. Wood specimens conditioned at a relative humidity of ...

This study was conducted to determine the impacts of heat treatment on lap shear strength, density, and mass loss of black pine wood. In the study, black pine wood boards bonded with polyurethane were subjected to ...

In this study, computer aided drying schedules were developed for Camiyani Black Pine (Pinus nigra var. pallasiana) lumber for less than 30 mm thick, between 30-60 mm thick and larger than 60 mm. Schedules were calculated ...

In this study, the influence of thermal treatment on color changes of six different wood materials was investigated. Test specimens were subjected to three different temperatures (160, 180, and 200°C) and durations (3, 5, ...

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in physical properties of Paulownia (Paulownia elongata) wood, a fast-growing species, during heat treatment at three different temperatures (160, 180, and 200 C) and ...

In this study, “nanolacke ultraviolet (UV) varnish,” developed by a Turkish dyeing and varnish company and widely accepted as a 21st century technology, has been compared to other conventional varnish types that are widely ...
