Wetting Behavior of Alder (<i>Alnus cordata</i> (Loisel) Duby) Wood Surface: Effect of Thermo-Treatment and Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD)

Wetting Behavior of Alder (<i>Alnus cordata</i> (Loisel) Duby) Wood Surface: Effect of Thermo-Treatment and Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD)

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the hydrophobic effect and chemical changes induced by thermo-treatment and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) on the surface properties of Alder (<i>Alnus cordata</i> (Loisel) Duby) wood before and after an artificial weathering test. Thermal trea...
