Tests were conducted to determine the mechanism of compressed wood set. The samples of 1-72 Poplar were treated with a PF resin of water-solubility and low molecular weight. Then the air-dried samples were hot-pressed to a certain thickness. Finally the specimens were obtained from the compressed samples and scanned with an X-ray diffractometer. Results show that before press the crystallity of the inner layer is lower than that of the outer layer, and at press the difference of the crystallity between the outer layer and the inner layer will slowly disappear and finally the crystallity of the inner layer exceeds that of the outer layer; with the increasing compression set the crystallity decreases, and there is a big decrease; the crystallity difference between two layers happens because of compression set gradient, WPG difference or the joint effect.展开更多
