Accurately predicting gas adsorption in shale gas is essential for estimating production
capacity and optimizing extraction processes. However, the complex nature of shale …

Shale gas plays are composed of different constituent components (mineral and organics)
and a mixture of fluids. To accurately estimate the gas in place (GIP) in such reservoirs …

Despite the importance of cell wall diffusion to nearly all aspects of wood utilization, diffusion
mechanisms and the detailed effects of moisture remain poorly understood. In this …

Theoretical aspects of swelling... Adsorption, wetting, permeation Osmotic pressure............
Charge effects.............. Structural restraints.......... High-swelling systems........ Solvent …

Wood, a complex hierarchical material, continues to be widely used as a resource to meet
humankind's material needs, in addition to providing inspiration for the development of new …

The material properties of wood are intimately tied to the amount of moisture contained in
the wood cell walls. The moisture content depends on the environmental conditions, ie …

Intermolecular interactions at the fiber-matrix interface strongly affect the hygromechanical
behavior and overall mechanical performance of hydrophilic cellulosic nanocomposites. The …

Inspired by the composite structure of the wood cell wall, we propose in this paper a new
class of composites reinforced by axially functionally graded fibers with high stiffness in the …

Secondary plant cell walls are composed of carbohydrate and lignin polymers, and
collectively represent a significant renewable resource. Leveraging these resources …

The cellulose microfibril in the wood cell wall possesses a functionally graded structure, the
biomechanical contribution of which is unclear. At the molecular scale, we analyze the …
