Fundamental understanding of the moisture uptake in modified wood
The use of wood and wood based materials in moist environments is limited because of these material’s susceptibility to decay fungi. The durability thus needs to be improved, which can be achieved by chemical wood modification. The exact mechanisms behind the increased durability of modified wood is however not known, but the lowered moisture content is

MODUWOOD – Modified durable wood products
Modern methods to protect wood from degradation aims at increasing the service life of the material by removing or reducing the cause of degradation: water within the material. This can be done by wood modification, e.g. acetylation or heat treatment. However, there is a lack of understanding of what happens within the wood, which hampers
