Abstract
Abstract The combined effects of initial microfibril angle (MFA) and moisture content (MC) on the longitudinal tensile properties of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) wood foils has been investigated. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRDsyn) combined with a custom-built microtensile device was applied for in situ monitoring of the MFA alterations in the foils under different initial MFAs and MCs conditions. The results demonstrate that the tensile properties are highly negatively correlated to both MFA and MC. Furthermore, the tensile modulus is more sensitive to MC change than tensile strength. At a higher MFA, the sensitivity of the two mechanical indicators to MC alteration is enhanced.
