Dielectric Properties of Wood and Wood-Based Materials

Provided here is a comprehensive treatise on all aspects of
dielectric properties of wood and wood products. The topics
covered include: Interaction between electromagnetic field
and wood. - Wood composition and dielectric properties of
its components. - Measurement of dielectric parameters of
wood.- Dielectric properties of oven-dry wood. - Dielectric
properties of moist wood. - Effect of different kinds of
treatment on dielectric properties of wood. - Dielectric
properties of bark. - Dielectric properties of wood-based
materials. - Recommendations for determination of dielectric
parameters of wood based materials and for their use in
calculations.
Several appendices comprise reference data onthe dielectric
characteristics of wood and wood-based materials in the wide
range of frequencies, temperatures, and moisture content.
