Wood is a hygroscopic material that absorbs and desorbs water to equilibrate to the ambient
climate. Within material science, the moisture range from 0 to about 95–98% relative …

Water plays a central role in wood research, since it affects all material properties relevant to
the performance of wood materials. Therefore, experimental techniques for characterising …

To promote the performance of fast-growing poplar wood for furniture applications, this study
proposes and investigates the feasibility of modifying fast-growing poplar wood with a urea …

This study aimed to evaluate changes in the microwave-assisted drying shrinkage and
chemical properties of a bamboo stem treated by microwave-assisted drying. The result …

Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material that can take up water both within cell walls (cell-
wall water) and in the macrovoid structure (capillary water). Therefore, moisture transport in …

Thermally modified wood (TMW) is widely used in outdoor applications due to its advanced
properties towards weathering stresses. Although the structure changes of TMW from …

Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNMR) relaxometry was applied to determine the
spin-spin relaxation time (T 2) of water-saturated Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) …

Moisture in radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) earlywood (EW), which was acetylated or
propionylated to various degrees, was measured by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance …

Earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) have different hygromechanical behaviors, if subjected
to relative humidity (RH) variations. To understand this effect better, the adsorption …

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 …
