The present study is focusing on structural and mechanical aspects of non-oxidising pyrolysis of native spruce wood, with the aim to transform the hierarchical structure of wood into nano-structured oriented carbon. Synchrotron radiation was used in combination with a custom made furnace to study wood pyrolysis in situ. Detailed time resolved small-angle and wide-angle scattering data from single wood slices provided deeper insight into the kinetics of cellulose degradation for temperatures up to 400^∘C. Furthermore nanoindentation was applied to characterise changes of cell wall hardness, Young’s modulus, elastic and plastic parameters of the carbonaceous residue up to 2400^∘C.
