Wettability studies on Scots pine veneers were done by using Wilhelmy plate method. The probe liquids were water and octane as swellable and non-swellable liquids, respectively. Novel approaches based on …
A multi-cycle Wilhelmy plate method has been developed to investigate liquid sorption, swelling and dimensional stability of wood samples. The application of this technique is exemplified by evaluation of wood …
Mapping and visualization of structural changes due to the modification of wood would increase the understanding of chemical modification processes and facilitate optimization of the process parameters. The 2D and …
The presence and distribution of wood extractives can be related to the physicochemical properties of wood. Wood extractives are constituted of compounds that can easily migrate within the wood. Relocalisation …
Wood is an important engineering material. However, wood surface is susceptible to moisture and biological degradation during natural weathering process that occurs both indoors and outdoors due to the hydrophilic …
