Abstract

Evidence is presented indicating that limits to ultimate tensile strength improvements on thin wood sections by grafting techniques are set by structural rather than chemical factors. For effective tensile strength increase in woods, the strength of which is strongly dependent on individual fiber strength, grafting must be operative on both inter-fiber bonding and intrinsic fiber strength. The requirement is more pronounced in products modified by radiation rather than heat/catalyst means.
