SEM Research on Surfaces of Weathered Wood

Investigations of the weathering of wood very often involved observations of structural changes using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis.Observation of the effects that the photo-induced degradation may have on ultrastructural and structural integrity of wood surface help in understanding the degradation process. Microscopic analysis of coated wood gives corroborating evidence about the cohesive weakness of particular surface layers, about the adhesion properties, the water ingress into the interface and about the UV-induced damage within and under the coating.
