Journal Article
Kint, D. P., Hill, C. A., Sharratt, V., Hill, C. A. S., & Kint, D. (2009). A study of early colour change due to simulated accelerated sunlight exposure in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Polymer Degradation and Stability, 94(9), 1589-1594. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymdegradstab.2009.04.010

A detailed study of early colour change in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) due to accelerated simulated sunlight exposure was undertaken focusing on the 1st 24 hours of change. Colour changes were monitored with a Datacolor check spectrophotometer and...

Why does acetylation protect wood from microbiological attack? (2009)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S. (2009). Why does acetylation protect wood from microbiological attack?. Wood Material Science and Engineering, 4(1-2), 37-45. https://doi.org/10.1080/17480270903249409

Three main mechanisms have been postulated for explaining why acetylation provides protection from wood against fungal decay, which can be divided into biochemical (substrate recognition) and physical (cell wall nanopore blocking or cell wall moistur...

The water vapor sorption behavior of natural fibers (2009)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Norton, A., & Newman, G. (2009). The water vapor sorption behavior of natural fibers. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 112(3), 1524-1537. https://doi.org/10.1002/app.29725

The water vapor sorption behavior of a range of natural fibers (jute, flax, coir, cotton, hemp, Sitka spruce) has been studied. The data was analyzed using the Hailwood Horrobin model for isotherm fitting and determination of monolayer moisture conte... Read More about The water vapor sorption behavior of natural fibers.

Decay resistance of acetylated and hexanoylated hardwood and softwood species exposed to Coniophora puteana (2009)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Curling, S., Kwon, J., & Marty, V. (2009). Decay resistance of acetylated and hexanoylated hardwood and softwood species exposed to Coniophora puteana. Holzforschung, 63(5), 619-625. https://doi.org/10.1515/hf.2009.124

The effect of chemical modification with acetic or hexanoic anhydride upon the decay resistance of wood was studied. Both sapwoods and heartwoods of the following trees were investigated: Japanese larch, Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière; Korean pine,...
