Wood furfurylation is a very promising modification process, which can greatly improve several important properties of wood simultaneously. The polymerization degree of furfuryl alcohol (FA) in wood significantly influences the performances of modified wood. However, it is normally time-consuming and expensive to determine the curing parameters of a new FA solution formula for a target wood species, as the process requires lots of lab-scale experiments. To address this challenge, nanoindentation was used to determine the hardness and elastic mo...
