Shrinkage bound water loss

However, when trees are felled and the cell walls lose moisture, shrinkage occurs in proportion to the extent of loss of this bound water. Because wood in use is generally exposed to cycling relative... 

Upon heating above about 200 °C, hardened magnesium phosphate cement exhibits a gradual loss of chemically bound water and a moderate shrinkage, but preserves most of its strength at least up to 1000 °C, and thus may also be considered for high-temperature applications. Magnesium phosphate cements also used to be considered as dental cements, but are rarely employed in this area nowadays (Sharp and Winbow, 1989).
