Morphological Changes on Spruce Wood Surface, Induced by Treatment with Dry Ice

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work concerns the changes to wood surface morphology induced by surface cleaning with dry ice. The surface roughness values demonstrated that the surface treatment with dry ice resulted in amplified surface roughness, mainly due to the increase in the roughness of early wood. The treatment of old wood with dry ice not only guarantees effective removal of contamination from the wood surface, it also induces positive changes in other (such as wettability, surface free energy, color, and similar). This way of wood surface treatment guarantees more wood surface quality for the surface treatment, impregnation or gluing.
