This work presents a study on the performance of printed low-cost moisture sensors
fabricated using conductive ink on paper substrates. The sensors are intended to add value …

The hygroexpansion of paper was significantly reduced, up to 28% lower amplitude of
change when the paper was subjected to a change in relative humidity from 20 to 85% RH …

Wood cells constitute the main building block in engineered wood-based materials, whose
delimiting property frequently is moisture induced swelling. The hygroexpansion properties …

Compression wood conifer tracheids show different swelling and stiffness properties than
those of usual normal wood, which has a practical function in the living plant: when a conifer …

Hornification, a complex phenomenon occurring during drying of lignocellulosic materials
because of formation of irreversible chemical bonds, remains a subject of scientific interest …

The goal of this article was to evaluate the surface characteristics of the pine fibres and its
impact on the performance of fibre–cement composites. Lower polar contribution of the …

Measurements have been performed to clarify the connection between fibre–fibre joint
properties and dimensional stability using laboratory sheets prepared from never-dried …

This study provides a basic understanding of moisture sorption in moulded fibre packaging
for food at varying environmental temperatures and humidities, and the resultant effects on …

Wood fibres are gaining increased use as reinforcement in plastics. One of the
disadvantages of cellulose-based fibres is their propensity to absorb water and swell. This …

With the increasing production of cement-bonded panels due to growth in the construction
sector, the use of alternative species as new lignocellulosic feedstocks have being studied …
