Moisture- and mould-resistance: multi-modal modelling leveraging X-ray tomography in edge-sealed cross-laminated timber

Edge-sealing, which involves treating the edges of wood products, improves water resistance. This study investigated the feasibility of edge-sealed cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels to reduce capillary water uptake, thereby resisting mould formation. The water and vapour permeabilities of ten char...
