High-Permeability Wood with Microwave Remodeling Structure

This paper presents the development of a microwave puffed wood (MPW) with novel and unique structural features in its internal structure that are based on natural wood (NW). The focus of the research was on the comprehensive visualization of the structural characteristics of MPW from the macroscopic...

description	This paper presents the development of a microwave puffed wood (MPW) with novel and unique structural features in its internal structure that are based on natural wood (NW).
