    Author : Petteri Torniainen; Dennis Jones; Olov Karlsson; Dick Sandberg; Henrik Veikko Juhani Heräjärvi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Thermally-modified timber; Thermo-S; Thermo-D; colour Lab; Scots pine; Pinus sylvestris; Norway spruce; Picea abies; quality control; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of the work presented in this doctoral thesis has been to correlate the commercial output of  ThermoWood® process with a pre-defined, quantifiable, non-destructive measurable parameter - colour, and to show the feasibility of measurements to be the essential part of the internal and external quality-control system. Colour is the most evident property changed of thermally-modified timber (TMT). READ MORE

  4. 2. Heat treatment of solid wood : effects on absorption, strength and colour

    Author : Dennis Johansson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träfysik; Wood Physics;

    Abstract : Wood is a useful construction material, but it has less desirable properties such as poor durability and poor dimensional stability. These problems can be reduced by using various chemical treatments. Increased environmental awareness has raised the demand for more environmentally friendly methods. READ MORE

  5. 3. Wood colour related to kiln drying

    Author : Bror Sundqvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Physics; Träfysik;

    Abstract : Raised temperature in artificial drying has led to some changes of wood products such as colour and strength etc. For special treatment of wood-products with clearly modified properties, among them colour, is often high temperature and steam used industrially. READ MORE

  6. 4. Colour Response in Drying of Nordic Hardwoods

    Author : Stefan Stenudd; Thomas Thörnqvist; Timo Kärki; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; beech; Betula pendula; birch; CIELAB; discolouration; drying; Fagus sylvatica; log storage; oak; press drying; wood colour; Quercus robur; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Colour and appearance of hardwood are of great importance for the interiorand furniture industry. The widespread use of transparent surface treatmentand a fashion that prescribe light colour on many species, means that deviationfrom the ideal have considerable impact on the industrial operations.

  7. 5. On colour changes during kiln drying of hardwood : with special reference to beech and birch

    Author : Stefan Stenudd; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Kiln drying is a key factor for the utilisation of our hardwood forest resources, providing our industry with high quality raw material. The increased use of transparent surface treatment in the furniture and carpentry industries during the last decades has put an increased focus on wood colour. READ MORE
