Properties of Tropical Woods.

Abstract

The research have been the basis for a series of Technical Reports -- 45 in number -- dealing with such diverse subjects as gluing characteristics, weathering characteristics, fiber-saturation point of wood, water-vapor sorption characteristics, mechanical behavior under sustained and repeated loading, decay resistance, wood properties affecting adhesion and glue-line behavior, the cutting of veneer, stabilizing effects of plastic overlays, properties of wood-core laminates, curvature-stress factor in laminated wood, fiber characteristics influencing pulp-sheet properties, factors influencing chemical resistance of wood, wettability of wood, and stress relaxation.
