Spruce wood is widely used in outdoor applications, but its susceptibility to degradation
under exposure to sunlight and moisture is a major concern. This study investigates the …

This work appraises the influence of CO2 laser irradiation on mass loss, morphology,
chemical changes and discolouration of spruce wood surfaces. The amount of energy …

Changes in color (CIE L* a* b*) and properties (density, mass loss, density loss, and
bending properties) of heat-treated beechwood were researched, as well as the possibilities …

The paper deals with the properties of a beech wood surface treated by CO2 laser
engraving. The studied concerns were the discoloration, changes to morphology assessed …

The wood of five European species: black poplar (Populus nigra L.), European beech
(Fagus sylvatica L.), European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), European oak (Quercus robur L.) …

This work evaluates the effects of accelerated aging on the discolouration of surface-treated
spruce wood and oak wood coated with solvent-based polyurethane lacquers, and surface …

This work reports on the properties of beech wood, one of the most important hardwood
species, harvested in the Greek public forests. The physical and mechanical properties of …

The possibility of photochemical improvement of color stability by UV-irradiation treatment at
coating-wood biointerfaces was investigated. The surface of beech wood was partially …

The work investigates the effects of CO2 laser parameters (laser power and raster density)
on wood mass loss in oak wood and impacts on its morphology, chemical structure, and …

With the increasing shortage of petroleum resources and the growing seriousness of
environmental pollution, the exploitation and application of bio-based coatings derived from …
