Transparent wood composite (TWC) is an emerging material which combines good optical
and mechanical properties with potential applications in smart windows, energy efficient …

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), aspen (Populus tremula
L.) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea Liebl.) hardwood samples were irradiated by a strong …

The visual inspection of fresh cut spruce wood (Picea abies, L. Karst.) showed the variability
of its colour. Wood visual inspection is a part of wood quality assessment, for example, prior …

Abstract Spruce samples (Picea abies Karst.) were irradiated by a strong ultraviolet (UV)
light emitter mercury lamp, and another series of specimens were treated with the …

Spruce (Picea abies Karst.) samples were irradiated using an ultraviolet light emitter
mercury vapour lamp. The examined specimen surfaces contained earlywood or latewood …

The goal of this research was the systematic study and comparison of the divided individual
effects of UV light irradiation and water leaching during artificial weathering. Spruce (Picea …

Poplar (Populus x euramericana cv. pannonia) samples were irradiated using ultraviolet
light emitter mercury lamp. Other series of specimens were treated with the combination of …

The chapter presents the possible usages of infrared spectrum measurement in wood
research. These spectra provide information about the chemical changes generated by …

This book describes all optical properties of wooden materials, including definitions and
measurement methods of optical parameters such as absorbance, diffuse and specular …

The chapter presents how effective the colour measurement is in monitoring the sensitivity of
different wood species to photodegradation. The colour measurement mistakes during …
