dc.description.abstractThermal treatment of wood alters its structure due to degradation of wood polymers (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), so the physical properties of wood are either improved or worsen. In this study, the effect of thermal treatment on density, equilibrium moisture content (EMC), and color of hornbeam wood was investigated. The color and density (air-dry and oven-dry density) were determined for the control and heat-treated samples, as well as their equilibrium moisture content at relative humidities of 35, 50, 65, 80, and 95%. The data showed that thermal treatment resulted mainly in darkening of the wood and the reduction of its density and EMC. It was found that the treatment temperature had a much more significant impact on color changes than the duration of the treatment. Generally, heat-treated wood color becomes darker than nontreated wood, so it can be used as decorative material. Because the EMC is lower, the heat-treated wood can be used in saunas and pool sides. Also, heat-treated wood can be used in outdoor applications because of lower density.en_US
