In the interview with SCA Wood Magazine, Jesper Edberg, Scientific Leader of DCC and Andreas Fall Director of DCC, talked about the DCC developed wood-based sensor, which can sense both atmospheric humidity and the moisture content of wood.
They described the increased need for efficient and sustainable moisture monitoring systems for wood, to keep it from rotting or suffering from mold. The DCC sensors could help improve the long-term sustainability of wooden buildings by continuously monitoring moisture levels.
In the article they also explain how the sensors were developed, involving the laser treatment of lignin, making it possible to create graphene, a material with excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
