Abstract The demand for high-performance, yet eco-friendly materials is
increasing on all scales from small applications in the car industry, instrument
or furniture manufacturing to greater dimensions like floorings, balcony furnishings and even construction. Wood offers a good choice on all of these scales and
can be modified and improved in many different ways. In this study, two common
European hardwood species, Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) were densified in radial direction by thermo-mechanical treatment and the
densified product was investigated in an extensive characterisation series to determine all relevant mechanical properties. Compression in the three main… More >
