Abstract

TG, DTG and DSC curves are presented and analytical results, obtained by thermogravimetry and DSC calorimetry, of ancient, fresh and waterlogged wood samples, are discussed. The criteria by which the percent content of lignin, cellulose, water and ashes (residue after heating at 700‡) were obtained by thermogravimetry, are outlined. Finally DSC curves are reported and the degradation which happen in some wood samples evidenced, especially in the case of waterlogged wood.
