Eight species were used for this experiment: Taiwan spruce, White spruce (USA), Elka spruce (USSR), Taiwan hemlock, Western hemlock, Taiwan acacia, Chinese guger-tree, and Rubber wood, to determine the improvement of the mechanical properties of acetylated wood. The compressive strength parallel to grain was 21-45%; MOE of static bending strength was 0-32% and 1-39% respectively; hardness of cross-section, radial-section, and tangential-section showed 5-33%, 33-78%, 32-75%, those values were higher than untreated woods.
