Effect of heat treatment on the weathering and hardness properties of some wood species
(Northern European Network for Wood Sciences and Engineering, 2015-10-25)
Thermal modification is known as a potential method to improve dimensional stabilization of wood and enhance its biological resistance. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), spruce (Picea orientalis), ash (Fraxinus spp.), tali ...
Surface characterization of some woods exposed to accelerated weathering
(28th International Conference on Wood Science and Technology, 2017-12-07)
In this study, the photo degradation of beech (Fagus orientalis), oak (Quercus robur), ash (Fraxinus
spp.), and poplar (Populus euramericana) wood samples were investigated by accelerated weathering
test in order to ...
Accelerated and natural weathering performance of impregnated wood samples
(International Conference on Agriculture, Food, Veterinary and Pharmacy Sciences, 2017-05-15)
Numerous chemicals are currently applied for wood protection against weathering. However, most of these chemicals cannot provide a long-term protection on wooden surface. Therefore, water repellent materials are needed to ...
Effects of nano-zinc oxide based paint on weathering performance of coated wood
(Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, 2014-09-20)
Nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) was chosen as a suitable candidate for the UV-protection of coatings. The accelerated weathering performances of Scots pine coated with wood paint mixed with nano- ZnO were investigated. Uncoated ...
Water repellent efficiency of wood treated with copper-azole combined with silicone and paraffin emulsions
(2013-01-20)
Copper-azole free of chromium and arsenic is one of the potential wood preservatives against wood decay organisms being on the market as an alternative to CCA (copper, chrome, arsenic). In this study, copper-azole solution ...
Weathering performance of wood treated with copper azole and water repellents
(2017-09-20)
Water borne wood preservatives have been widely used for a long time in the protection of wood either in ground contact or above ground. Copper is still major biocide component used today in treatment plant for wood ...
Fungal inhibition and chemical characterization of wood treated with novel polystyrene-soybean oil copolymer containing silver nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2018-06-28)
In this study, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) samples were impregnated with autoxidized soybean oil polymer
containing Ag nanoparticles (Agsbox) and polystyrene-soybean oil copolymer (AgPSsb) in order to inhibit ...
Mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of nano-boron nitride treated wood materials
(Maderas. Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016)
Thermal instability is the one of the most important disadvantages of wood since it begins to
decompose at a low temperature (˃110 °C). Many scientists, past and present, have conducted studies
aimed at improving the ...
Effect of tall oil pretreatment on physical and mechanical properties of heat treated fir and beech
(27th International Conference on Wood Modification and Tehnology, 2016-12-07)
Thermal treatment is an environmentally friendly process and effective to improve biological resistance as well as enhance dimensional stability of wood material. However, the mechanical properties of the wood are decreased ...
Accelerated weathering and decay resistance of heat-treated wood reinforced polypropylene composites
(Drvna Industrija, 2019-10-27)
The aim of this study was to determine the accelerated weathering and decay resistance of the heattreated wood reinforced polypropylene composites (HT-WPC). Polypropylene (PP) was used as a matrix and the heat-treated wood ...
