We measure fiber saturation point by the classical method developed by Stone & Scallan. The inability of water bound in fiber wall pore to dilute a high molecular mass dextran solution is used for calculating the fiber saturation point when an excess of liquid is present. The results are reported as the dimensionless ratio of the mass of the fiber wall water divided by the mass of the mass solids. 5-10 g of sample is required.
Treesearch aims at creating a national platform to support the research on new materials from the forest. Research projects conducted within Treesearch research areas and the researchers who are active in these projects are welcome to join the platform.
