The purpose of this review is to report on the state-of-the-art on the interaction of moisture
with natural materials and fabricated biomimetic functional materials, with an emphasis upon …

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a
material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that …

Leather is a product that has been used for millennia. While it is a natural material, its
production raises serious environmental and ethical concerns. To mitigate those, the …

This study aimed at a better understanding of the wood-water interaction, in particular the
role of the hydroxyl accessibility during the humidity-dependent change in moisture content …

A new molecular model is developed for wood moisture sorption in the hygroscopic range of
relative humidity (RH< 95%). This model incorporates realistic physical characteristics of …

Hysteresis in the sorption equilibrium influences the production process of many
multicomponent material systems. Electrodes for Li-ion batteries consist of several materials …

Since the loading of electrodes for Li-ion batteries with an excessive amount of moisture
affects the performance of the cells, the moisture is partly removed in a post-drying process …

This study aims to determine the sorption isotherms of three tropical woods from Cameroon
to understand the conditions for their use and drying. The equilibrium moisture contents …

The aim of this research was to investigate the moisture absorption of bamboo fibers (BFs)
and their composites manufactured using different methods. The hygroscopic properties of …
