Optimization of the Thermo-Hygromechanical (THM) Process for Sugar Maple Wood Densification

Densified wood is a promising engineered wood product, especially for heavy-duty applications. This study optimized the temperature and duration of the thermo-hygromechanical (THM) densification process applied to sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) wood. The response variables studied were compress...
