Abstract
In order to increase its hardness and gravity as well as dimension stability, the technology of hot-compressing onPaulownia wood was studied. The main factors of affecting the spring back of the compressedPaulownia samples were discussed. It was discovered that every factor in the experiment had obvious effects on wood hardness and dimension stability of compressed wood. When the MC (Moisture Content) of experimental specimens was 13.89%, it was useful to spray water on the surface of samples before hot pressing. The best result was the recovery of compression set could decrease from 90.69% of untreated wood to 45.51% of soaking specimens into PF (Phenol Formaldehyde) water solution. The hot pressing time was 8 min at 190°C.
