Abstract

Hygrothermal recovery (HTR), the dimensional changes in wood induced by hygrothermal treatment, was investigated using both compression and normal wood of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica). The elastic released strain of growth stress was measured on living tree surfaces; subsequently, the specimens were taken from the same position to measure HTR. HTR was measured as dimensional changes due to treatment at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 °C in hot water ranging from 200 min to 177 days. The intensity of HTR had a positive relationship with elastic released strain of growth stress. This result suggests that HTR is the relaxation of the viscoelastic component of growth stress accumulated during the maturation process of trees. The rate of HTR clearly showed a time–temperature dependency: higher at higher treatment temperatures and lower at lower treatment temperatures. Based on kinetic analysis, the apparent activation energy (E a) was calculated as 407 kJ/mol, which is similar to the published E a of lignin softening implying that the HTR is a lignin-related phenomenon.
