Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]
The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...

DRYING OF SAPWOOD ANALYZED AS AN INVASION PERCOLATION PROCESS
The sapwood fibers in green softwood are normally filled - or nearly filled - with free water. This water forms a continuous phase through the narrow bordered pits between fiber lumens. In a drying process water evaporates from the menisci formed at these narrow throats and initially located close to the surface of the wood. As the amount of free water
