Volumetric
 swelling
 in
 65
 %
 relative
 humidity
 at
 20
 °C
 was
 reduced
 from
 6.5
 %
 in
 untreated
 poplar
 
to
  5
  %
  in
  samples
  impregnated
  with
  process
  residues
  of
  thermal
  treatment
  at
  180
  °C
  or
  200
  °C.
 
The
  processes
  using
  HTC
  liquids
  from
  Miscanthus
  sp.
  (Misc.)
  or
  sawdust
  showed
  reduction
  to
 
3.0
 %
 to
 3.5
 %
 and
 Pyrolysis
 liquid
 treatment
 to
 2.5
 %
 (Fig.

 The
 mass
 loss
 of
 untreated
 Beech
 
(30
  %
  to
  35
  %)
  and
  Poplar
  (40
  %
  to
  50
  %)
  was
  reduced
  to
  2
  %
  with
  Pyrolysis,
  and
  4
  %
  wth
  TT-­‐
treatment,
 depending
 on
 wood
 species
 and
 process
 (impregnation
 or
 leaching)
 (Fig.
