Gezici-Koc, Ö. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), van der Ven, L.G.J. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)In addition to the desired aesthetical properties, a coating is applied to protect against weathering. A coating prevents moisture accumulation in wood by reducing the water uptake into the wood by its barrier function. The studies in the coating permeability has gained interest with the shift towards waterborne coatings, which make coatings...article 2019

van Meel, P.A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Kopinga, K. (author), DE Jong, J. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)Moisture accumulation inside wood causes favorable conditions for decay. Application of a coating alters the moisture sorption of wood and prevents accumulation of moisture. This paper presents the results of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on the influence of a coating on the moisture absorption of wood. NMR allows to determine both...article 2011

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Geophysical investigations were carried out on two modern landfill sites in the Netherlands. The objective of the geo-electrical and EM31 measurements was to reveal the effect of recirculation of leachate on homogenising moisture content in the waste to stimulate the process of attenuation. At Vlagheide, geo-electrical and EM31 measurements were...conference paper 2009

Primo-Martín, C. (author), de Beukelaer, H. (author), Hamer, R.J. (author), van Vliet, T. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The effect of air and vacuum cooling on the fracture behaviour and accompanying sound emission, moisture content and crispness of bread crust were investigated. Vacuum cooling resulted in rapid evaporative cooling of products that contained high moisture content. Fracture experiments showed a clear dependence of fracture properties on the way...article 2008

Brocken, H.J.P. (author), Spiekman, M.E. (author), Pel, L. (author), Kopinga, K. (author), Larbi, J.A. (author), TNO Bouw (author)The water extraction out of mortar during brick laying was studied using nuclear magnetic resonance. The experiments show that using a fired-clay brick, the water is extracted out of the mortar within 3 minutes, whereas in the case of a sand-lime brick this takes about 10 minutes. Prewetting a fired-clay brick hardly affects the water extraction...article 1998
