Hygroscopicity of Longitudinally Compressed Wood

Abstract: -Knowledge of hygroscopicity is extremely important both in the use of native wood and modified wood. In this study, the modification method was steaming at 100 °C, then longitudinal compression at a rate of 20%. The moisture content (MC) of treated and untreated green beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) was reduced in a climate chamber with gradual reduction of air humidity at 20 °C. The difference of calculated fibre saturation points between control samples and samples compressed for a long time was 6% (MC%). I… Show more

“…The FSP for control specimens of steamed beech (BSC) was 25.9 ± 0.4%, while the FSP for treated beech specimens (B1mA) was 25.4 ± 0.8%. The large difference of FSP from the published data (35.6%, Molnár 2004) could have been caused by drying the specimens to 0% moisture content (MC) at 103 °C temperature before saturating with water vapor, and the relative humidity (RH) slightly below 100% during the tests (Báder and Németh 2017b). The FSP of control and treated specimens is the same, about 25.6%.…”

“…FSP is the same for treated and control wood after adsorption. Thus, the sorption isotherm of pleated wood in comparison with untreated wood differs only slightly (Báder and Németh 2017b).…”

“…As described in earlier papers (Hanemann 1917;Stevens and Turner 1948;Vorreiter 1949;Báder and Németh 2017), the aim of longitudinal wood compression is to make the material pliable. The compression process results in excessive buckling of the cell wall, which allows much higher elongation without break during the proper wood bending.…”

“…Different sources give different minimal moisture contents as a limit of pliability, ranging from 15% (Vorreiter 1949) to 25% (Buchter et al 1993). During the modification process, the normally smooth cell walls deform (crinkle or buckle, Figure 2) (Báder and Németh 2017a). Therefore, this method may practically be called "pleating" (Báder and Németh 2018).…”
