Many specialty treatments can be applied to wood to either improve its performance or change its properties. The treatments discussed in this course are those that make permanent changes in the shape of the wood product, improvements in dimensional stability, or improvements in performance through combinations with non-wood resources.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the principles of plasticizing wood for bending.
- Describe methods for bending plywood and other laminated wood members.
- Explain the bending of solid wood members.
- Identify the general characteristics of bent wood.
- Describe the benefits of chemically treating wood to produce modified wood.
- Explain the properties of modified wood.
- Compare wood heat-treatment methods, benefits, and limitations.
- Describe the properties and commercial applications of wood-polymer composites.
- Identify the types of paper-based plastic laminates and their commercial applications.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
