      Sivrikaya, Hüseyin; Ekici, Emre; Can, Ahmet; Taşdelen, Mehmet; Gökmen, Kadriye (Northern European Network for Wood Sciences and Engineering, 2015-10-25)
      Thermal modification is known as a potential method to improve dimensional stabilization of wood and enhance its biological resistance. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), spruce (Picea orientalis), ash (Fraxinus spp.), tali ...
    • The influence of thermal treatment on color response of wood materials 

      Aydemir, Deniz; Gündüz, Gökhan; Özden, Seray (Wiley Periodicals, 2010-08-11)
      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, ...
    • Some physical properties of heat-treated hornbeam (carpinus betulus l.) wood 

      Gündüz, Gökhan; Aydemir, Deniz (Taylor & Francis, 2009-05-01)
      Thermal 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 ...
