Effect of microwave treatment on the impregnability and mechanical properties of Eucalyptus globulus wood

Application of microwave energy to wood can increase permeability in order to improve the impregnation of treatments, particularly important in refractory species such as eucalyptus. However, microwave treatment can also affect the physical and mechanical properties of wood. This paper discusses the...
