Despite being studied for over a century, the reason for the sigmoidal shape of the sorption isotherm of wood and the origin of sorption hysteresis are still the subject of …
Water plays an important role in degradation processes of wood and influences physical wood properties such as dimensional stability and mechanical behaviour. The interaction between water and wood has therefore …
A sorption isotherm expresses the relation between ambient relative humidity (RH) and equilibrium moisture content of a material for a specific temperature. The sorption isotherm can generally be divided into …
Wood has very good properties as a building material, such as high stiffness to weight ratio and good insulation properties, and it is also biodegradable at the end of the …
Water vapor sorption is fundamental to the behavior of wood and affects nearly all its properties. The relation between equilibrium moisture content of the wood and relative humidity at a …
