Thermal modification is a well-established commercial technology for improving the
dimensional stability and durability of timber. Numerous reviews of thermally modified timber …

Wood-water interactions are central to the utilization of wood in our society since water
affects many important characteristics of wood. This topic has been investigated for more …

Additive manufacturing of fully recyclable walls, made of a composite of renewable
secondary resources, offers the wood construction industry the possibility to manufacture …

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a
material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that …

Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically
robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of …

Heat treatment increases the decay resistance of wood by decreasing its hygroscopicity, but
the wood material remains degradable by fungi. This study investigated the degradation of …

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 …

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 …

The material properties of wood are intimately tied to the amount of moisture contained in
the wood cell walls. The moisture content depends on the environmental conditions, ie …
