Non-Destructive Detection and Monitoring of Durability Issues in Wood Panels under Accelerated-Weathering

Creator:

Laleicke, Paul Frederik

Abstract:

Many wood composites are known to poorly resist the effects of moisture and temperature extremes over time. Degradation of adhesive bonds, irreversible thickness swell and dimensional instability result in a decrease of properties and a possible failure of the material. Accelerated weathering has become an essential tool for assessment of...
