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.
