| Summary: |
"The market for new durable products of modified wood has increased substantially during the last few years. This increased interest depends partly on the restricted use of toxic preservatives due to an increased environmental concern and the need for reduced maintenance. Furthermore, as sustainability becomes a greater concern, the environmental impact of construction and interior materials should be included in planning by considering the whole life cycle and embodied energy of the materials used. Wood modification is implemented to improve the intrinsic properties of wood, and widen the range of timber applications, and to acquire the form and functionality desired by engineers, without calling the environmental friendliness into question. The wood modification processes are at various stages of development, and the challenges that must be overcome in scaling up to industrial applications differ among them"-- |
