✦ Synopsis


The transverse NMR relaxation times of hydrogen nuclei of water absorbed in white spruce sapwood [Picea glauca (Meunch) Voss] were measured for moisture contents in the range from 5 to 176%.

The spin echo amplitudes resulting from the Carr-Purcell sequence decay nonexponentially suggesting the possibility of a t least two different relaxation times for water in wood. A simplified structural model of the wood-water mixture is used to estimate the rates of chemical exchange at room temperature of hydrogen nuclei between various sites in the system. The high-resolution NMR line shape is discussed briefly in terms of this proposed model.

Water proton transverse relaxation times (T 2 ) and self-diffusion coefficients (D) were measured in randomly oriented hydrated collagen fibers. Three T 2 relaxation times were discerned indicating the presence of at least three water fractions in the collagen sample. The D values associated with ea

Measurements performed on biological systems, such as parts of plants, seeds and animals reveal non-exponential decay of the spin-spin relaxation function. Such behaviour has also been observed in the eye lens, which is a relative simple system mainly built from water, 65% of total weight, and 35% o

Clustering behavior of water molecules during adsorption of water in wood was studied using the Zimm-Lundberg theory. The average cluster size of water molecules was determined with the help of wood adsorption isotherms at five temperatures. The effects of both relative humidity and temperature on a
