摘要
The process of heating and compressing wood to improve its properties or reform it to a new shape has been known for decades. Such improvements are usually accompanied by "shape memory" where the deformation produced by compression is not permanent, and the material recovers when re-moistened and heated. The combination of densification and a thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatment can transform wood into a new material with improved mechanical properties, decreased sensitivity to moisture, increased durability, and no shape-memory effects. This article presents the principles of combined densification and THM processing, the products and experimental results, the origin of the shape-memory effect and its elimination by THM treatment, and the potential use of THM-processed densified wood in construction applications.
