Density is one of the most significant factors affecting the mechanical properties of wood. Scots pine has a relatively low density and increasing its density would widen the range of applications for this species. In this study Scots pine sapwood samples were densified by compressing the porous structure under heat and moisture. Densifying one side of wood aims at applications that require only one harder surface, such as flooring. This study evaluated the significance of different process parameters (temperature, closing time, holding time, moisture content, and compression ratio) on wood surface densification and their effect on the wood density profile. Furthermore, microscopic analysis was performed on a selection of samples. Th...
