Abstract
Abstract The change of microfibril angle (MFA) in wood cell wall was assessed after drying at 60°C and 70°C to a target moisture content (MC) of 8% or 15%. Despite literature contradictions about the effect of drying on MFA, this study showed that drying increased significantly the MFA, possibly as a result of lateral deformation of cellulose microfibrils during water desorption from wood cell walls. Moreover, MFA increased when target MC decreased.
