## Abstract The thermodynamic functions of biopolymer hydration were investigated by multitemperature vapor pressure studies. Desorption measurements were performed that allowed determination of reversible isotherms in the hydration range of 0.1 to 0.3β0.5 g H~2~O/g dry polymer. These isotherms are
Changes in free energy, enthalpy, and entropy were determined for sorption (desorption and adsorption) of water in wood. Findings were that changes are different for desorption and adsorption, have a strong dependence on moisture content, and have a weak dependence on temperature. Suggestive explana
