Plasma Pre-treatments to Improve the Weather Resistance of Polyurethane Coatings on Black Spruce Wood

We hypothesize that plasma treatments that increase the adhesion and penetration of transparent water, and solvent-borne polyurethane coatings into black spruce wood will improve the performance of coated wood exposed to accelerated weathering. We tested this hypothesis by modifying wood samples wit...
