Abstract
The anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) of heat-treated wood was investigated by meta-analysis. The effects of material- and technology-related factors were quantified. The results showed that ASE after heat treatment was strongly dependent on the growth information of wood (e.g., its climate location, cultivation method, hardwood or softwood, and heartwood or sapwood) and on the technology-related factors (e.g., time, temperature and agent of the treatment). The meta-analysis was concluded to be effective for comprehensively identifying the heat treatment-associated properties.
