Wood–Water Relations Affected by Anhydride and Formaldehyde Modification of Wood
ACS Omega, 2022 The moisture uptake of wood is influenced by accessible hydroxyl groups acting as sorption sites and the water-available cell wall space. To what extent do these mechanisms control the moisture uptake in wood needs to be addressed. For this purpose, we modified sorption site density and cell wall space by wood treatments with acetic anhydride or ...
