Strength grading of Chinese poplar wood for structural use following thermal modification

Thermal modification has been commonly perceived to improve wood dimensional stability, but decreases certain main mechanical properties. This research aimed to optimize thermal modification for poplar wood to determine its impacts on strength class for potential structural use. In this study, popla...
