Changes in the Chemical Composition and Decay Resistance of Thermally-Modified Hevea brasiliensis Wood.

In this study the effect of thermal treatment on the equilibrium moisture content, chemical composition and biological resistance to decay fungi of juvenile and mature Hevea brasiliensis wood (rubber wood) was evaluated. Samples were taken from a 53-year-old rubber wood plantation located in Tabapuã...
