Abstract

The utilization of tree of heaven wood is hindered by its low durability and dimensional stability. Although it has promising physical and mechanical properties similar to ash wood, it is considered as an invasive wood species, and it is rarely the base of wood property improvement research. In this study, heat treatment was carried out on this species at 180°C and 200°C to evaluate the sorption characteristics using dynamic vapor sorption tests. This way, the wood-water relationships, the rate of sorption, the reduction in moisture content could be analyzed and assumptions could be made on the change of moisture-related properties.
