“…While LM [23], CLSM [15] and SEM [14,24] have provided valuable understanding of coating penetration into wood, which can be related to coating adhesion, more novel technical approaches, such as correlative microscopy [16] and X-ray imaging and analysis [27] are providing more complete information on wood-coating interaction. Here an example is presented where compareson of LM, CLSM and SEM was made for their capabilities to resolve greatly distorted surface tissues in a P. radiata panel that had been band-sawn to produce a highly rough surface texture in order to understand the pattern of distribution of a stain coating within these tissues.…”

Surface coatings provide protection to wood products against weathering and other deteriorating factors, such as moisture uptake and microbial invasion. The effectiveness of coatings depends on many factors, including how well the applied coatings adhere to the wood surface. Coating adhesion to wood involves both chemical and physical interactions between the coating and wood tissues in contact, and the particular focus of this mini-review will be on the advances being made in understanding the physical aspects of the interaction by probing wood-coating interface using novel and high resolution imaging techniques, including confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), SEM-backscattered electron imaging and correlative microscopy employing light, confocal and scanning electron microscopy.

“…However, the uneven distribution of the coating into wood makes the determination of a representative coating penetration depth challenging (Van den Bulcke et al 2003). For this reason, alternative techniques have been used to map the coating penetration in wood, such as scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) (De Vetter et al 2006;Mayo et al 2010;Van den Bulcke et al 2008;Van den Bulcke et al 2010;Wascher et al 2020).…”

Plasma treatment is becoming a mature technique for modification of surfaces of various materials, including wood. A better insight in the treatment process and the impact of the plasma on properties of wood bulk are still needed. The study was performed on Norway spruce and common beech wood, as well as their thermally modified variations. The formations of the airborne discharge, as well as mass changes of the treated wood, were monitored. The impact of such treatment on wood-coating interaction was investigated by evaluating the dynamic wettability and penetration into wood. At the wood surface, plasma streamers were observed more intense on denser latewood regions. Wood mass loss was higher with increasing number of passes through the plasma discharge and was lower for thermally modified wood than for unmodified wood. Plasma treatment increased the surface free energy of all wood species and lowered the contact angles of a waterborne coating, these together indicating enhanced wettability after treatment. Finally, the distribution and penetration depth of the coating were studied with X-ray microtomography. It was found that the coating penetrated deeper into beech than into spruce wood. However, the treatment with plasma increased the penetration of the coating only into spruce wood.

“…The penetration behavior of coating systems on the subsurface layers of wood tissues and the interaction at the wood/coating interface has been examined using a variety of microscopic techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy [12][13][14][15], scanning electron microscopy [14,[16][17][18][19], confocal laser scanning microscopy [20,21], autoradiography [18], and X-ray tomography [22,23].…”

Application of Confocal Raman Microscopy for the Analysis of the Distribution of Wood Preservative Coatings

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The distribution of wood preservative coatings in wood surface layer was assessed at the cellular level using confocal Raman microscopy. Raman images were created based on the fingerprint Raman bands of the different wood polymers and coating components (resin and pigment). The wood cell walls and the distribution of the resin and pigment were clearly visualized at the same time. It was concluded that confocal Raman microscopy is suitable for the evaluation of the microdistribution of wood coatings, providing valuable information for the improvement of wood coating technology.
