SOLVENT POLARITY AND INTERNAL STRESSES CONTROL THE SWELLING BEHAVIOUR OF GREEN WOOD DURING DEHYDRATION IN ORGANIC SOLUTION
The dimensional variations of green wood samples induced by organic solvents have been studied. The solvents used (ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, and acetonitrile) covered a wide range of polarity and were studied pure and in aqueous solutions over a wide range of concentrations. Samples of normal a...
