Contact angle methods are widely used to evaluate the wettability of cellulose-based
surfaces and to judge their suitability for different applications. Wettability affects ink …

Heat treatment is a method of wood modification with increasing market acceptance in
Europe. The major patented European commercial heat treatment processes have trade …

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

Pinus radiata wood specimens were heat-treated at 160–210° C in linseed oil and the
effects of treatment on chemical composition, color, dimensional stability, and fungal …

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 …

In this study, a simple and cost-effective method was developed to fabricate
superhydrophobic coating on wood surface. The prepared superhydrophobic coating had a …

The so-called lotus effect has inspired the production of highly hydrophobic wood surfaces
based on a two-step process consisting of growing nanofilms on the wood substrate …

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 …

Cellobiose and lignin were plasma treated in synthetic air and argon using a dielectric
barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure. Changes due to the plasma modification of the …

The present study used an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment
to modify the interfacial properties of heat-treated wood (HTW). The changes in the wood …
