Characterization of Water in Wood by Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (TD-NMR): A Review

This review summarizes the development of experimental technique and analytical method for using TD-NMR to study wood-water interactions in recent years. We briefly introduce general concept magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrate their applications characterizing following aspects interactions: water state, fiber saturation distribution at cellular scale, migration wood. The aim this is provide an overview utilizations future research opportunities relations. It should be noted that does not cover NMR methods chemical resolution wood macromolecules, such as solid-state NMR.
