Abstract:Abstracts:The poplar and willow have been main fast growing species in the central plains. In order to make full use of fast-growing softwood, research on modification process and improving wood quality has been very necessary. In this paper, research on the modification experiment of poplar and willow was made. The dimensional stability and hardness of modified wood increased significantly. The hardness of poplar and willow increased by 49.2% and 40.1% respectively; the bending strength of poplar and willow increase by 49.0% and 51.5% respectively.
