Abstract
In this study, the combined effects of chemical (with tricine and bicine) and thermal treatments were investigated. The modifications which appeared in the wood structure were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy and chemometric methods (principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis). After the treatment, about 6–7% of WPG was identified in treated samples, but further thermal treatment decreased the WPG to about 5%. The modifications appearing in the spectra were mostly related to increase of the intensities of the bands assigned to CO groups but also to N–H and C–N groups, with shifting of some bands to higher wavenumber values.
