Durability of polyacrylate nanocoatings on thermally modified wood

Thermally modified wood protected by a transparent coating is still susceptible to surface degradation due to influence of environmental factors. In this paper, the possibility of increasing the durability of transparent coating on thermally modified wood by adding TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles in waterborne polyacrylate coating was analysed. Unmodified and thermally modified beech wood samples uncoa…
