In engineering practice, perhaps the most interesting aspect of woodworking deals with the relationship between wood and moisture. The plywood composite presents hygroscopicity characteristic, as the wood and reaction almost like a sponge, will gain or lose moisture from the air based upon the conditions of the surrounding environment. When the tree is in the green state, is first felled, it contains a very large amount of moisture existing in two different forms: as free water that is contained as liquid in the pores or vessels of the wood itself and as bound water, trapped within the cell walls. After that the wood is exposed to the air and immediately loose free water and the wood does not contract or otherwise change in dimension, it is in the state of drying and it is called the fiber saturation point. The moisture content in each piece of CP5 composite material is expressed as a percentage of the weight of the water and oven-dry weight of CP5 composite material. The moisture absorption depends on the wood type, density of wood and it is influenced by the environmental temperature, this is an aspect very important in the furniture industry. The moisture absorption test is generally used for quality control purposes and to measure the degradation of the quality for the wood and composite materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
