Solar‒driven interfacial water evaporation is a convenient and efficient strategy for
harvesting solar energy and desalinating seawater. However, the design and fabrication of …

It is now established that crystalline cellulose is held together not just by hydrogen bonding,
but also by dispersion forces and by electrostatic attraction modulated by stereoelectronic …

Wood-water interactions are central to the utilization of wood in our society since water
affects many important characteristics of wood. This topic has been investigated for more …

Wood in service is sequestering carbon, but it is principally prone to deterioration where
different fungi metabolize wood, and carbon dioxide is released back to the atmosphere. A …

Water is one of the principal constituents by mass of living plant cell walls. However, its role
and interactions with secondary cell wall polysaccharides and the impact of dehydration and …

Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically
robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of …

Water vapor sorption is the most fundamental aspect of wood-moisture relations. It is directly
or indirectly related to the physical properties of wood and the onset of wood-damage …

Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material that can take up water both within cell walls (cell-
wall water) and in the macrovoid structure (capillary water). Therefore, moisture transport in …

Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) measurements are widely used to collect water vapor
sorption isotherms for wood and other cellulosic materials. Equilibrium moisture content …

The effect of wood modification on wood-water interactions in modified wood is poorly
understood, even though water is a critical factor in fungal wood degradation. A previous …
