Wettability and bonding quality of exterior coatings on fast-growing wood surfaces were
studied. Samples of air-dried flat-grained (tangential surface) and edge-grained (radial …

Sanding is a common machining method to obtain good surface quality. The 2D surface
roughness Ra presents high error due to the biological structure of wood materials. In this …

The main objective of this study is to determine optimum machining parameters to specify
the effect of densification by compressing the processing properties of wood material and to …

To identify effective wetting additives for extinguishing wood fires, this study employed both
simulation and experimental approaches to investigate the wetting and adsorption …

Various factors, such as molecular weight (MW), reactivity, wettability, surface roughness,
surface adhesion, interphase adhesion, and cohesion of adhesives, affect the adhesion …

This study aims to propose a novel method, vacuum infusion process, to measure the
longitudinal permeability of wood. The vacuum infusion method uses a vacuum bag sealed …

The main goal of this paper was to clarify to what extent extractives and wood structure
determine the surface properties of hardwoods, mainly tropical. The role of wood extractives …

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of two machining processes on
European oak wood surface characteristics. The relationships between wettability, free …

Purpose The surface characteristics of wood such as surface roughness, surface free energy
(SFE) and wettability are important properties influencing further manufacturing processes …

Adhesion capability of timbers varies greatly depending on anatomical structure and origin
of the species. Unlike temperate hardwood, tropical hardwood has slightly different …
