Sorption Characteristic of Thermally Modified Wood at Varying Relative Humidity by Chenyang Cai, Fanding Zhou

“…The effect of TM on the hygroscopic properties of wood has been studied extensively; however, the sorption mechanism and the states of water of thermally modified wood (TMW) at varying relative humidity (RH) is limited. In this work, Douglas fir was modified at 180 °C, 200 °C and 220 °C for a duration of 2 h and the Hailwood–Horrobin model and NMR relaxometry were used after specimens were conditioned at eight different RHs. …”

Bound Water Content and Pore Size Distribution of Thermally Modified Wood Studied by NMR by Chenyang Cai, Fanding Zhou, Jiabin Cai

“…The physical and mechanical properties of thermally modified wood (TMW) have been comprehensively studied; however, the quantitative analysis of water states and cell wall pores of TMW is limited. In this work, Douglas fir and Norway spruce were thermally modified at 180, 200 and 220 °C, and then studied by NMR cryoporometry method. …”
