Correlation of 13C-NMR analysis with fungal decay tests of polymeric structural wood constituents. II. Ground contact tests

Heat treatment at relatively high temperatures (ranging from 150°C to 260°C) appear to be an effective method to improve the durability of wood. This study investigated the reasons for the decay resistance of heat‐treated and untreated wood as composed of polymeric structural constituents by solid‐s...

Description
Summary:Heat treatment at relatively high temperatures (ranging from 150°C to 260°C) appear to be an effective method to improve the durability of wood. This study investigated the reasons for the decay resistance of heat‐treated and untreated wood as composed of polymeric structural constituents by solid‐state CP‐MAS 13C‐NMR analysis after fungal exposure in ground contact. An industrially used two‐stage heat treatment method under relatively mild conditions (
