The article discusses the impact of wood modification on understanding its interaction with moisture. The influence of moisture on the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of wood is analyzed, including changes in strength, stiffness, and hardness. The processes of moisture transfer, wood structure, and its absorption capacity are described. Different types of moisture in wood, such as free and bound water, are considered. Special attention is given to methods of wood modification and their effect on moisture absorption. Prospects for further research to improve modification methods and optimize wood's moisture resistance are outlined.
