Evolution of methacrylate distribution during wood saturation Original Research Article

It is established that a nonlinear model for the evolution of methacrylate in wood may be reduced via a reciprocal transformation to a moving boundary problem amenable to analytic treatment. Therein, the nonlinearity in the original problem is removed to the boundary. A recently developed method for the analysis of initial-boundary value problems is then used to obtain a single integral equation for the temporal evolution of the moving boundary in the canonical problem.
