Zusammenfassung

Eight Greek wood species were examined as potential raw materials for wood-cement composites. Hydration tests were carried out to determine the inhibitory index in order to classify wood-cement compatibility. The mixture with the highest compatibility (low inhibition) was that of poplar and cement with an inhibition index of 7.44.
