Determination of the Combined Effect of Chemical Modification and Compression of Agatis Wood on the Dimensional Stability, Termite Resistance, and Morphological Structure
Agatis wood (Agathis lorantifolia Salisb.) was impregnated with a combination of styrene and methyl methacrylate and compressed to a strain of 50% to improve dimensional stability and termite resistance. The changes in cell structure were analyzed to determine the effects of the combination treatmen...
