    Abstract Pinus massoniana wood was modified by steam heat-treatment at 160°C, 180°C, 200°C and 220°C respectively and effects of the changes of density, pH, surface wettability and apparent morphology of Pinus massoniana heat-treated wood on its bonding performance were studied in this paper. The results showed that Pinus massoniana wood underwent a series of physical and chemical changes during heat-treatment as the the following: (1) The degradation of hemicellulose and cellulose with low degree of polymerization, degradation and migration of the extract resulting in the decline of density and pH of heat-treated Pinus massoniana wood. (2) Brittle fracture occured on… More >
