Influence of plasma treatment on the coatability of wood primer with a topcoat for exterior use
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30828
The coatability of oil, or of solvent-borne alkyd resin wood primers with waterborne acrylic finish is the subject of much debate, but not much information can be found in the scientific literature on this topic. The aim of our study was therefore to evaluate the adhesion strength of the waterborne acrylic coating on oiled wood or wood with a solvent-based alkyd primer and to test the recoatabilit...

Relationship between changes inside moisture content of wood measured using temperature and humidity sensors and swelling and shrinkage
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41030
With the spread of mid and high-rise timber buildings, the long-term use of timber buildings is getting required more than ever. It is considered that measurement of the local inside moisture content of a wooden member is one of the useful methods for periodic health assessment of timber buildings. The aim of this research is to establish an easy estimation method of the local inside moisture cont...
