A correlation between the gas and liquid permeabilities of beech wood heat-treated in hot water and steam mediums

Heat-treatment, a major method of wood modification for improving dimensional stability and natural durability, has been studied considerably in the scientific literature. This study will focus on the effect of heat-treatment on permeability, an important physical property of wood by subjecting beec...
