UV weathering, a process initiated primarily by the ultraviolet portion of the solar spectrum,
causes surface degradation of wood. Additionally, the wetting and drying of wood through …

In this study the weathering behavior of lime wood (Tillia cordata Mill.) has been examined
using FT-IR and 2D IR correlation spectroscopy, which evidenced chemical changes …

Wood surface colour is a very important quality criterion in the utilisation of wood, especially
in indoor applications. In this study, an attempt was made to analyse wood surface …

The essential chemical modifications involving the polymeric constituents of wood in friction
welding occur in the first 5–6s slowing down or even stopping afterwards. FT-IR and CP …

The paper deals with color changes and wood component changes caused by laser beam
irradiation. A 500mm× 150mm× 15mm beech (Fagus sylvatica, L.) board was irradiated by …

In this study, wood samples were exposed to light irradiations (direct sunlight, xenon lamp,
mercury vapour lamp) and thermal treatments were carried out in dry-and in humid …

This paper deals with the photodegradation of wood in low atmospheric temperature region
(− 40 to 50° C), and discusses the changes in color and IR spectra. The color and IR spectra …

Abstract Sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Mill.) wood samples were exposed to the flowing
afterglow of a N 2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) open to ambient air. Freshly-sanded …

Four tropical woods, were investigated to compare their performance and natural
resistances to artificial weathering using the diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform …

We investigate the energy dependence of the UV laser irradiation on DRIFT spectra of
wood. Changes in the spectra have been studied with 248.5 nm wavelength of UV laser …
