Improving Wood Surface Wettability through Gas-phase Ozone Treatment of Air-dry Wood

Improving Wood Surface Wettability through Gas-phase Ozone Treatment of Air-dry Wood

An increase in wood free surface energy enhances the wettability of wood surfaces, leading to better interaction with water-based coatings. This study investigated the effect of gas-phase ozonation on the wettability of spruce, thermo-modified pine, and birch woods. The effects of the treatment were...
