Effect of carbonizing speed on the property changes of woodceramics impregnated with liquefacient wood

Properties of the woodceramics impregnated with liquefacient wood and carbonized at different heating rate were performed by dimension shrinkage and weight loss, density, compressive, tensile strength and specific surface area. The results showed that the heating rate played an important role upon the properties of the woodceramics; the dimension shrinkage and the weight loss increased with the increase of heating rate, while the compressive and tensile strength decreased. The results also indicated that high heating rate promoted high surface area.
