Surface properties of wood are important for both wettability and hydrophobic modification.
Glueability of wood is related to wettability, while durability and decay resistance are …

Adhesive bonding is the key factor in how to utilize wood material for the production of
increased-value wood products. Manufacturing wood-based composites depends on …

The effects of ageing on the surface chemistry, wettability and the surface free energy were
determined according to the acid base theory using contact angle measurements and x-ray …

The X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of black cherry (Prunus serotina), red
oak (Quercus rubra), and red pine (Pinus resinosa) wood samples extracted with ethanol …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the surfaces of
mechanically treated wood. Microtomed and sanded surfaces of spruce, larch, beech and …

In this study values of contact angle of distilled water on differently rough beech (Fagus
sylvatica L.), birch (Betula pendula), sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and spruce (Picea abies) …

Variability in the chemical composition of surface properties of various wood fibers (eastern
white cedar, jack pine, black spruce, and bark) was investigated using diffuse reflectance …

The adhesion strength of four different types of species was determined in this study.
Bleached, stained, and preservative treated samples of spruce (Picea orientalis), yellow …

Using four different wood species, the wetting behaviour of sanded wood surfaces was
compared with that of microtomed surfaces. Sanding caused lower contact angles and lower …

The subsurface acid–base properties of pine wood have been quantitatively characterized
in terms of the C1s peak displayed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the …
