Rubber Wood Properties Influenced by Organic Acid Release during Heat Treatment
In order to improve rubber wood heat treatment technology,the authors investigated the amount of organic acid released and its effect on rubber wood performance during high temperature heat treatment.The results indicated that increasing the temperature and the heat treatment duration increased the amount of organic acid released which improved the color appearance and decay resistance of treated wood.However,it possibly had a negative impact on bending strength.
