The effect of weathering on surface characteristics of chemically modified scots pine (pinus sylvestris) wood by Amanah, Sinta, Martha, Resa, Basri, Efrida, Mubarok, Mahdi, Sekartining Rahayu, Istie, Alipraja, Irsan, Darmawan, Wayan, Gérardin, Phillippe, Emmerich, Lukas, Militz, Holger, Hani Abdullah, Ummi

“…Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood of 200×20×80 mm3(L×R×T) was treated with both cell wall filling and lumen filling chemical agents (low-molecular phenol-formaldehyde, bio-oil, N-methylol/N-methyl compounds, sorbitol-citric acid, polysiloxane), which were fixed inside the wooden structure during heat-curing processes. The present study investigated the impact of the appointed chemical modifications on the surface characteristics of wood, which was addressed by measurements of the surface roughness (Ra), surface free energy (SFE), contact angles, wettability and its bonding quality. …”
