This study applied coating systems containing two different waterborne acrylic resins with an ultraviolet (UV) absorber on the surfaces of polyvinyl chloride-based flat-pressed wood-plastic composites (WPCs) evaluated and ...

In this study, fossil (Sequoioxylon) wood from the Oligocene-Miocene transition in istanbul, Turkey was examined using non-destructive test methods to evaluate changes in anatomical and chemical structure. Molecular changes ...

The resistance of thermally modified oriental spruce, Scots pine, and oriental beech wood samples against fungi is investigated under different temperatures. Thermally modified wood samples are subjected to brown-rot fungi ...

In this study, tree bark extracts were assessed as functional additives to provide protection in waterborne acrylic- and alkyd-based coatings. Tree bark extracts acted as natural photostabilizers and inhibited UV degradation ...

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are new generation materials widely used in outdoor conditions; however, the appearance and mechanical properties of WPCs change with exposure to weather. In this study, high-density ...

ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and conventional analysis techniques were performed to characterize the chemical structure of different coniferous (cedar, fir, Calabrian pine, and spruce) and deciduous (chestnut, oak, alder, and ...

One of the crucial problems for wooden garden furniture is fading with the effect of UV rays. The color changes as a result of weathering have affected the usage of furniture. In this study, waterborne acrylic coatings ...

Environmentally friendly new wood preservative surface materials were developed to protect the wood surface against outdoor conditions. The durability performance of different types of waterborne acrylic resin with bark ...

Aim of study: The need for eco-friendly and bio-soluble wood preservatives has increased recently. In this study, antifungal effects of tree barks were researched. Area of study: The maritime (Pinus pinaster L.), iron ...

This study focused on the effect of wood flour content on some mechanical and physical properties of flat pressed wood plastic composites (WPC). The results revealed changes in the wood flour content affected the density ...
