A Note on Cell Wall and Wood Substance Densities
Keywords:
Cell-wall density, wood substance density, cell-wall voids, sorption compressionAbstract
The differences in reported values of material densities for wood are discussed and analyzed with respect to cell-wall voids. A model is proposed to account for the reported differences and for general use in calculating relationships between wood volume and density.References
