Water vapor sorption is the most fundamental aspect of wood-moisture relations. It is directly
or indirectly related to the physical properties of wood and the onset of wood-damage …

This review summarizes the development of the experimental technique and analytical
method for using TD-NMR to study wood-water interactions in recent years. We briefly …

Despite the importance of cell wall diffusion to nearly all aspects of wood utilization, diffusion
mechanisms and the detailed effects of moisture remain poorly understood. In this …

Wood, a complex hierarchical material, continues to be widely used as a resource to meet
humankind's material needs, in addition to providing inspiration for the development of new …

The effect of humidity conditions on the moisture content and dimensional variations of
natural fibre bundles from several botanical origins with contrasting biochemical and …

Moisture influences most physical wood properties and plays an important role in
degradation processes. Like most other porous materials, wood exhibits sorption hysteresis …

Recently, the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) technique has been used to measure sorption
isotherms and develop moisture-mechanics models for wood and cellulosic materials. This …

Wood porosity is of great interest for basic research and applications. One aspect is the cell
wall porosity at total dry state. When water is absorbed by wood, the uptake of water within …

Citric acid together with sorbitol (SorCA) have been used to modify wood and improve its
properties, such as dimensional stability and biological durability, which partly result from its …

This paper presents the water vapour sorption behaviour of degraded archaeological oak
(Quercus robur L.) and the influence of methyltrimethoxysilane treatment on hygroscopicity …
