Effect of microwave treatment on longitudinal air permeability and preservative uptake characteristics of chir pine wood

Low permeability of many wood species due to their anatomical properties causes problems during timber drying as well as impregnating with preservatives and resins. Microwave (MW) treatment influences heartwood permeability and improves preservative uptake and distribution. In the present study, mic...
