in this research, the effect of tension wood formation in populus nigra on its anatomical characteristics was studied. vessel element and ray frequency (n/mm²), vessel diameter and ray dimensions were measured in both normal and tension wood. furthermore, the formation of gelatinous layer (g-layer) in the fibers of tension wood was studied. the results showed that the vessel proportion and diam...

As one of the most sustainable resources, wood has been widely used in fields construction, decoration, flooring and furniture. However, micron-scale porous structure makes it have strong moisture absorption capacity is susceptible to bacterial adhesion. In order expand its utility more applications products, necessary make a certain antibacterial waterproof properties. This study demonstrates ...

Abstract Self?cleaning and repellent coatings ensure enduring performance of surfaces in many areas technology everyday life. An ideal coating is efficient removing contaminations, yet easy to apply on a wide range surface materials. To devise such coating, two bioinspirations are combined that show opposing interfacial properties: the peristome pitcher plant versatile mussel?inspired chemistr...

With the development of economy and science technology, consumers have put forward higher requirements for functionality surface coatings on wood products metal products, which requires us to endow traditional with new functions. Innovative research has been a hotspot in recent years, combination microencapsulation technology is direction attracting much attention. In this paper, kind spirooxaz...

In this paper, a wood coating based on waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/nano-cellulose crystalline (CNC)/Magnesium hydroxide (MH) was prepared. Efficient dispersion of MH in WPU presence 5 wt% CNCs observed by biological microscope leading to material with improved esthetic, thermal and fire-retardant properties mechanical performance. By thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) comparison WPU, the max...

An issue related to using wood and products for building structures is ensure their stability durability during operation within wide limits. Therefore, the object of this study was a change in properties polymer shell powder paint on thermal modification. It proved that process modification wood, its structure changes, accordingly, polymerization paint, degassing occurs, which affects shell. N...
