The elusive wood-water relations have been studied for over a century and are among the most researched topics in wood material science. Wood-water relations originate from the polar hydroxyl groups …
Cellulose is present in the cell walls of wood in the form of partially crystalline microfibrils, with a thickness of 2–3 nm. Lateral aggregation of the microfibrils into bundles, also …
The relationship between wood and moisture content is complex and can lead to a range of issues, such as cracking due to dimensional changes and fungal degradation (Sargent, 2019). Wood …
This study tested the suitability of hyperspectral imaging techniques to visualize the distribution of polyester in softand hardwood species on the cellular (confocal Raman imaging) and on the macrostructural level …
Impregnation-modification of wood typically results in an inhomogeneous chemical distribution, which reduces the effectiveness in wood protection. Macroscopic gradients in modification degree from the centre to the surface of boards …
