Really fascinating.
I wonder what this process does to the flammability? On the one hand, I'd assume the collapsed cellular matrix means a denser fuel source; on the other hand, I don't know if the open cellular matrix of regular would lets oxygen in or serves as a small reservoir when normal wood burns.
- idiomaddict 1y agoFrom the article > InventWood says Superwood is up to 20 times stronger than regular wood and up to 10 times more resistant to dents, because the natural porous structure of the wood has been collapsed and toughened. That makes it impervious to fungi and insects. It also gets the highest rating in standard fire resistance tests.
