Pinewood (Pinus sylvestris L.) was thermally modified at temperatures of 160ºC and 200ºC for 2, 6 and 10 hour periods, respectively.The severe conditions of the heat treatment resulted in decreased mechanical properties (compressive strength and modulus of elasticity) and a decrease in the degree of cellulose polymerization.A comparison of selected mechanical properties and the degree of cellulose polymerization indicated that there was a relationship between them and the temperature and duration of the heat treatment.
