Surface tension of solid wood surfaces affects the wettability and thus the adhesion of
various adhesives and wood coatings. By measuring the contact angle of the wood, the …

This research investigates the effect of plasma treatment with air, nitrogen (N2), and carbon
dioxide (CO2) gases on the performance of waterborne (acrylic) and solvent-borne …

ABSTRACT A sanding is a common woodworking operation to smooth the surface prior to
apply surface finish or coating materials. All cutting processes damage the upper layer of …

The upper cell layers of machined solid wood surfaces will usually be damaged and
compacted due to cutting forces. The deformation zone may be instable due to temperature …

The main aim of this study is to define the usability of the confocal scanning optical
microscope (CSOM) to evaluate the wood surface roughness. Therefore, systematic …
