Color variations in CIELAB coordinates for softwoods and hardwoods under the influence of artificial and natural weathering

, 2020
Artificial and natural weathering treatments have been shown to influence the chemical and physical properties of wood and wood-based materials, e.g. moisture content, density, composition and coloration. Changes in color caused by natural and artificial

Mechanical and physical stability of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based wood plastic composites (WPCs) under natural weathering

Polymer testing, 2019
This study investigated the effects of natural weathering on the physical and mechanical properties of biodegradable composites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and wood flour (WF).

Influential parameters on natural weathering under harsh climatic conditions of mechanically recycled plastic film specimens.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2019
In this work, real life reclaimed plastic solid waste (PSW) secured from the municipal sector was mechanically recycled and compounded with virgin linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).

Natural Weathering Studies of Polypropylene

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2009
Polypropylene (PP) has achieved a dominating position and hence, their consumption increases thereby littering, which lead to environmental pollution. Photodegradation seems to be a better choice because of naturally available sunlight as energy source for degradation.

The behavior of metals/metalloids during natural weathering: A systematic study of the mono-lithological watersheds in the upper Pearl River Basin, China.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
The Pearl River Basin is a region with elevated geochemical baseline levels due to high metals/metalloids content in the sediments and soils. In this paper we systematically analyzed the behavior of these metals/metalloid (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, As, and Pb)

Controlled Temperature Natural Weathering

2008
The development of new or improved products necessarily requires meeting a wide range of economic, operational, and performance criteria. Each presents its own difficulties but issues involving durability carry the added problem of a long time scale and thus become a potential bottleneck in bringing products to the marketplace.

Long‐term natural weathering of coated ThermoWood

Pigment & Resin Technology, 2000
Heat treatment reduces hygroscopicity and accompanying dimensional changes in wood. Prior to coating, pine and spruce boards were heat treated at 225°C for six hours under steam, in order to achieve dimensional stability and durability of wood substrate.

Natural weathering severity of typical coastal environment on polystyrene: Experiment and modeling

Polymer testing, 2019
Natural weathering of polystyrene (PS) was performed at six exposure sites with various climate types along the coastal line from China to Europe, including Qionghai (typical hot-humid climate), Sansha (island hot-humid climate), Chennai (savanna hot ...

An investigation of surface properties of thermally modified wood during natural weathering for 48 months

Measurement, 2018
Weathering period and exposure conditions can affect the degradation rate of wood surfaces. Longer weathering exposure periods are more reliable for end-use performance evaluations, and therefore it is desirable to investigate the role of long exposure ...

Weathering indicator for artificial and natural weathering of wood coatings

European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2014
The aim of the present study was to find and develop a sensor to evaluate the weathering rates of wood coatings during natural and artificial weathering using a material of known and controlled rate of decomposition. This was achieved by the use of a coating based on poly (vinyl acetate) copolymer binder in combination with Fe2+ as redox catalyst.
