The swelling rate of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry) in water was determined on cross sectional, quartersawn, and flatsawn samples. The rate of swelling from six initial moisture content levels to saturation was measured in both the tangential and radial directions. Internal restraints w

Milled poplar wood (1.7 mm mesh size) was composted in lab-scale reactors. Initial C/N ratios were adjusted to 10:1, 30:1, and 50:1 using urea as the nitrogen source. At each C/N ratio, three moisture levels (30, 50, and 70%) were tested. C/N ratios of 50:1 or 30:1 and moisture content of 70% favore
The curing process of polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) with wood is affected significantly by moisture in the wood since the reaction of isocyanate is highly sensitive to water. This study determined the curing kinetics of pMDI and wood mixtures containing various moisture contents by m
