The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the
last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due …

The treatment of wood surfaces with gas discharges is one of the methods to achieve better
surface adhesion properties. Good penetration, spreading and wettability of the applied …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

Modification of wood is a method that is used to improve the material properties of wood by
altering its chemical nature and in a broader sense it is also a passive process, where …

To investigate whether the esterification reaction was the dominant factor that improved the
interface compatibility of wood-plastic composites and accordingly their performances, ultra …

This paper reports the generation of cold plasma jet working under atmospheric pressure
condition, for surface treatment of polymeric films. The discharge has been characterized by …

Wood/polyethylene (PE) composites are widely used in many fields for its excellent
properties, but they are hard to adhere for the surface lacking of polarity. So low-pressure …

ABSTRACT A new asphalt pavement heat reflective coating was prepared with epoxy resin
emulsion as the coating subs-trate, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, diatomite and hollow …

Plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure using a dielectric barrier discharge was carried
out to increase the surface hydrophilicity of wood and wood-based materials. Surface …

Mechanical properties of plasma-irradiated and surface-coated wood plastic composites
(WPCs) have been investigated in this paper. WPCs were developed by injection molding …
