Surface Characteristics of Poplar Wood with High-Temperature Heat Treatment: Wettability and Surface Brittleness
The many uses of wood are greatly affected by its surface properties, which are significantly altered by heat treatment. Investigated here are the wettability and surface brittleness when treating poplar wood with heat at 160, 180, 200, and 220 °C for 2 h. Contact angles were measured by the sessile...
