Hygroscopicity of the bark of selected forest tree species
As the outer layer of trees and shrubs, bark is exposed to the direct action of atmospheric conditions and reacts to changes in relative air humidity. This study focuses on the actual hygroscopicity of the bark, regarded as a component of the total bark ...

Hygroscopicity of decayed wood - Implications for weight loss determinations
Hygroscopicity changes were observed in red maple blocks subjected to brown rot, white rot and soft rot. Brown rot reduced hygroscopicity, soft rot increased hygroscopicity, and white rot showed only a very slight increase in hygroscopicity.

Significance of Size‐Dependent Hygroscopicity Parameterization for Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions
Aerosol‐cloud interactions (aerosol indirect effects) are the most significant source of uncertainties in the effective radiative forcing (ERF) due to aerosols which can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

Effects of Hydration on the Mechanical Properties of Salt-Doped Poly(methyl methacrylate)
The mechanical performance of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is highly sensitive to moisture absorption, which induces plasticization and softening. In this study, we investigated the ductilization mechanism of PMMA by incorporating various metal salts
