Wood-Water Interactions

About this book

Wood-Water Interactions examines the complex relationship between wood and water using an intuitive approach to what has historically been treated as an opaque and demanding field of study. Wood-moisture interactions dominate nearly every facet of wood technology and utilization, yet new findings continue to change our understanding of this topic. Authored by experts in the field, the chapters follow a logical structure and include case studies with vivid illustrations. Readers are motivated to understand updated information about the interaction of water with wood, the effect of changes in moisture content on the properties of wood and wood-based materials as well as the latest research methods used to study wood-water interactions. - Provides fundamental information about the relationship between wood-water - Offers updated coverage of how water changes the physical properties of wood, wood-based materials, and wood-composites. - Examines methods to change wood-water interactions through wood modifications and methods to study wood-water interactions.
