Modification of kraft wood-pulp fibre with silica for surface functionalisation [PDF]

, 2008
A new science strategy for natural fibre modification was devised in which glass surface properties would be imparted to wood-derived fibre. The enhancements known from addition of silane reagents to glass fibre–polymer composites could therefore be ...

Spectroscopic studies of wood-drying processes [PDF]

Optics Express, 2006
By the use of wavelength-modulation diode laser spectroscopy, water vapor and oxygen are detected in scattering media nonintrusively, at 980 nm and 760 nm, respectively. The technique demonstrated is based on the fact that free gases have extremely sharp absorption structures in comparison with the broad features of bulk material.

The Effect of Weather on Air-Drying of Messassa Wood

Floresta e Ambiente
This study intended to assess the effect of weather on the air-drying process of messassa wood (Brachystegia spiciformis Benth) in two areas of Mozambique (Machipanda and Beira city). First, the logs were sawn into 27 mm thick boards. Every five days the

Experimental determination of poplar (Populus nigra L.) wood drying curves

Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2017
Fresh plant material is degraded quickly and very easily. A possibility to avoid its degradation is drying. Drying is an energy-intensive operation and reducing of energy consumption means improving the energy balance and the economy of production.

Evaluation of the Free Volume Theory to Predict Moisture Transport and Quality Changes During Broccoli Drying [PDF]

, 2010
Moisture diffusion in porous broccoli florets and stalks is modeled using the free volume and Maxwell-Eucken theories. These theories are based on the mobility of water and concern the variation of the effective diffusion coefficient for a wide range of ...

Effect of Hot-Air Drying Conditions on the Drying Efficiency and Performance of a Waterborne Coating on Pine Wood

, 2023
In this study, we investigated the drying behavior of a waterborne wood coating (WWC) on pine wood using hot air drying. An analysis of variance of the experimental data revealed that both temperature and humidity exerted significant effects on the ...
