AbstractIn order to clarify the evolution and role of extractives in thermally modified wood during the process of weathering, the compositions of acetone extractives from thermally modified Scots pine after exposure in an accelerated weathering tester for different durations were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fatty acids and phenolics were proved to be the main types of extractives in weathered thermally modified Scots pine, and some sugars, terpenes and alcohols were also collected. With the progress of weathering, the content of fatty acids decreases significantly while that of phenolics increases. The reduction or even elimination of the fatty acids is presumed to be a physical process, namely, a discharge from wood during exposure to radiation and elevated temperature. The increase of phenolic extractives is mainly due to the photodegradation of other wood components. Phenolic degradation products play the role as a “barrier” against further photodegradation of thermally modified wood, among which vanillin or its derivatives appeared to be the most predominant and important ones.

This paper investigates the changes in density, compression strength parallel to grain, static modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of untreated (control) and waterborne-treated bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) specimens subjected to accelerated weathering using an accelerated weathering chamber for 672 hours. Wolmanit-CB (CCB), tanalith-E (Tan-E), amine copper quat-1900 (ACQ) and boric acid-borax (BB) were used as waterborne preservatives. The retention value of bamboo specimens was lower than that of wood specimens due to the difference in anatomical structure of bamboo. The value of density, compression strength parallel to grain, static modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of treated bamboo and wood were generally higher than those of untreated specimens after accelerated weathering. ACQ treatment generally provided the best protection against weathering in all mechanical tests for both bamboo and wood specimens, while CCB treatment provided an effective protection against weathering in compression strength for Oriental beech. BB treatment provided the least protection against weathering for bamboo and wood specimens compared to other waterborne preservatives.

This study investigated the effect of accelerated weathering conditions on total color changes on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and poplar (Populus x euroamericana) wood surfaces using the Taguchi method. The experiments, based on the L18 orthogonal array, were conducted separately for both tree species. The radial and tangential surfaces of wood specimens were subjected to an accelerated weathering process using 340 nm ultraviolet (UV) lamps and temperature conditions of 50 °C. The factors for the minimum color change were determined via the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios of the four parameters thought to be effective on color change. These parameters were cutting direction (two levels), UV-irradiance, conditioning, and water (three levels each). The most important factor affecting the color change was then determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing. The results showed that the maximum UV-irradiance (W/m2) had the largest effect on the total color change, while the cutting direction (radial and tangential) had the smallest effect. The factors that affected the total color change of the poplar and Scots pine wood specimens were the same. However, the analysis revealed that different application times had varying effects on the color change.
