Cel Wood is a sustainable, renewable, versatile material. When processed, dried and protected correctly it becomes a high quality stable material. The increasing use of environmentally friendly coatings can cause problems with rot in wood panels due to water retention in the coating/wood interface. Moisture ingress into glue can lead to mechanical failure. This project utilises recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging techniques, which allows visualisation of the moisture content in wood at its interface with air, coatings and glue. Moisture profiles in untreated, glued and coated wood drying and dehydration will be measured. A surface layer-drying model will improve electrical impedance moisture sensors used in kiln drying control. Quantitative measurements of coatings and glues as a function of composition assist the development of improved products. Through an understanding of wood properties we gain both economic and environmental benefits.
