| English abstract | In this study, the effect of silicone oil thermal modification at different treatment temperatures (150 ºC, 180 ºC and 210 ºC for 2 h and 4 h.) on the mechanical properties of Masson pine (Pinus Massoniana Lamb.) wood was investigated. The density, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), impact bending, compressive strength, and hardness of silicone oil thermal treated samples were evaluated and compared with those of untreated samples. Results showed the mechanical properties of Masson pine wood reduces after silicone oil thermal modification. The higher the modification temperature, the lower the mechanical properties of Mason pine wood. At 210 ºC for 4 h, mechanical properties of the modified samples were two times lower than the mechanical properties of the untreated. Higher modification temperature and longer treatment time contributed to lower mechanical properties. |
