Polyesters have shown to have a real potential used as wood treatment. Indeed, they are relatively inexpensive, as they are composed of an acid and a polyol, readily available, and …
Recently, research activities regarding a chemical modification technology, which uses citric acid (CA) andsorbitol, have been initiated. Both, CA and sorbitol (SorCA), originate from renewable resources and arecommonly used in …
Overall, spectroscopic techniques can be suggested as screening methods for distribution of impregnation chemicals of esterified wood. The results show that using spectroscopic methods such as ATR-FTIR, NIR and X-ray …
This study tested the suitability of hyperspectral imaging techniques to visualize the distribution of polyester in softand hardwood species on the cellular (confocal Raman imaging) and on the macrostructural level …
