Wood
  materials
  have
  been
  preferred
  for
  indoor
  and
  outdoor
  applications
  for
  many
  centuries
 
because
  wood
  is
  a
  natural,
  renewable
  engineering
  material
  with
  unique
  properties.
  However,
 
wood
  materials
  are
  susceptibility
  to
  decay,
  insects,
  termites,
  and
  fire,
  anisotropic
  and
 
hygroscopic.
  These
  undesirable
  properties
  of
  wood
  materials
  may
  be
  improved
  by
  different
 
modification
  methods
  (Mohan
  et
  al.
  2008;
  Temiz
  et
  al.
  2013a;
  Temiz
  et
  al.
  2013b).
  In
  the
  last
 
decade,
 different
 types
 of
 oils
 such
 as
 linseed,
 palm,
 soybean,
 sunflower,
 and
 other
 bio-­‐oils
 have
 
been
  investigated
  by
  several
  researchers
  for
  wood
  treatments
  due
  to
  the
  potential
  health
  and
 
environmental
  hazards
  of
  wood
  preservatives
  containing
  heavy
  metals
  (Temiz
  et
  al.
  2013b).
 
 
Chemically
  modified
  oils
  and
  bio-­‐oils
  have
  received
  much
  attention
  for
  wood
  treatment
  in
  the
 
recent
  years
  (Temiz
  et
  al.
  2013a;
  Temiz
  et
  al.
  2013b;
  Panov
  and
  Terziev,
  2015;
  Jebrane
  et
  al.
 
2015a;
 Jebrane
 et
 al.
 2015b).
 
 
In
  this
  paper,
  the
  effects
  of
  bio-­‐oils
  obtained
  from
  heat
  treatment
  processes,
  from
  pyrolysis
  of
 
annual
  plants
  and
  epoxidised
  oil
  on
  physical
  and
  biological
  properties
  of
  wood
  materials
  were
 
summarized
 based
 on
 previous
 studies
 published
 in
 some
 journals.
 
 
The
 effects
 of
 bio
 and
 epoxidised
 oils
 on
 water
 absorption
 and
 tangential
 swelling
 
The
 previous
 studies
 results
 showed
 that
 the
 water
 absorption
 percentage
 of
 wood
 treated
 with
 
20
 %
 bio-­‐oil
 obtained
 from
 a
 pyrolysis
 process
 at
 450
 °C
 to
 525
 °C
 for
 30
 min
 was
 lower
 than
 that
 
of
  unmodified
  wood.
  While
  water
  absorption
  values
  of
  control
  groups
  showed
  an
  increase
  from
 
63
 %
 to
 89
 %,
 that
 of
 wood
 samples
 treated
 with
 20
 %
 bio-­‐oil
 ranged
 from
 31
 %
 to
 71
 %
 after
 48
 h
 
of
  exposure
  in
  water.
  In
  order
  to
  decrease
  the
  water
  absorption
  values
  of
  bio-­‐oil
  treated
  wood,
 
samples
 were
 treated
 with
 epoxidised
 linseed
 oil
 (ELO)
 following
 bio-­‐oil
 treatment.
 The
 secondary
 
treatment
 of
 bio-­‐oil
 with
 ELO
 significantly
 reduced
 the
 water
 absorption
 from
 71
 %
 to
 37
 %
 (Temiz
 
et
 al.
 2013a).
 In
 another
 study,
 the
 water
 absorption
 percentage
 of
 wood
 samples
 treated
 with
 20
 
%
  bio-­‐oil
  obtained
  from
  a
  commercial
  heat-­‐treatment
  plant
  in
  Turkey
  was
  decreased
  to
  43
  %
