ResumoThe rate and maximum swelling of several North American wood species in 40 organic liquids have been obtained with a computer interfaced linear variable displacement transformer. Since wood swells very fast in some organic liquids, even at room temperature, this apparatus made it possible to obtain accurate rate data on the swelling of wood in organic liquids. It was found that many similarities existed between wood and cellulose maximum swelling within various solvent chemical classes. Hence, it appears that cellulose is the primary wood polymer responsible for the major amount of swelling of wood (...)
