摘要：

Heat treatment of wood has attracted a lot of attention both in Europe and recently in North America as an environmentally-friendly wood-protection method. The untreated wood is hydrophilic (high affinity for water). During the heat treatment, wood becomes more and more hydrophobic (low affinity for water) with increasing heat treatment temperature. As a result, it becomes more resistant to biological attacks. Furthermore, it becomes dimensionally more stable compared to untreated wood. Its hardness increases. As the wood becomes more hydrophobic, its wettability by water decreases. The effect of heat treatment is different for each species. Studying the wetting characteristics of heat treated wood gives a good indication of the heat treatment effects on certain wood properties which are related to its degree of hydrophobic character. The aim of this work was to study the characteristics of dynamic wetting process for two different heat-treated North American wood species white ash (Fraxinus americana) and soft maple (Acer rubrum). Contact angle measurements before and after heat treatment showed a significant increase in wood hydrophobicity. Advancing contact angles of a water drop were in all cases higher for heat-treated wood than for untreated wood. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
