Wood has excellent physical properties which however depend closely on the moisture content in the material. Because of its multi-scale structure and different states of water existing in the material, the mechanisms of water transfers in wood are still poorly understood. The essential phenomena at the origin of imbibition/drying properties of hardwood are studied in this thesis. We first show with classical macroscopic measurements that, water imbibition in wood is significantly damped compared to Washburn’s law which predicts the dynamic of capillary imbibition in the porous medium. The bound water and free water distributions obtained by MRI during imbibition show that, the bound water adsorbed in cell walls diffuses more quickly than th...
