Although the basic colour of wood was slightly changed due to the modification, modified and unmodified samples did not display any colour differences after coating with translucent stains. Blocking of coated wooden substrates (degree of adhesiveness) was dependant on the type of finish system and, in a few cases, on the wood substrate. For all wood substrates, both treated and untreated, solvent-borne alkyd finish penetrated into the surface layers of the wood cells, while water-borne acrylic finishes spread only on the wood surfaces. The solvent-borne alkyd finish dried much more slowly on wood substrates than did the water-borne acrylics. Modification with mDMDHEU did not affect the drying rates of the finishes tested. The wet adhesion depended on the finish systems tested and on the pre-treatment of the wooden substrate. With regard to the pre-treatment, wet adhesion of one water-borne and the solvent-borne finish systems was significantly enhanced through precedent modification with mDMDHEU. The other two water-borne finish systems showed a higher degree of wet adhesion. This study demonstrates that modification of the wood substrate with mDMDHEU is compatible with both water-borne and solvent-borne finish systems and improves their wet adhesion on the wood surface.

The first research on wood acetylation was already conducted in the 1920s using wood meal, whereas relevant research on veneer acetylation was published nearly two decades later, during the 1940s. In the years that followed, a great deal of research has been done on both solid wood and composite acetylation. Developments in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the creation of commercial products. Nowadays, wood is becoming increasingly popular in construction. Therefore, high-performance materials with high dimensional stability and durability are required. Veneers are thereby of particular relevance because of their propensity to absorb chemicals into even tough-to-treat wood species. However, acetylation alters the bonding properties of wood, which is important for the manufacture of engineered veneer products, especially in load-bearing construction. A large amount of research is now being conducted on the acetylation of veneer, and acetylated veneer products are anticipated in the near future. This study covers the fundamentals of bonding but focuses specifically on veneer acetylation and its fabrication to engineered veneer-based products. The influencing factors of acetylation on bonding are also discussed."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/ma15103665"],["dc.identifier.pii","ma15103665"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108612"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-572"],["dc.relation.eissn","1996-1944"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Bonding Acetylated Veneer for Engineered Wood Products—A Review"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Before the bioassay, half the number of the specimens (including controls) was subjected to an accelerated aging test according to EN-84. The specimens were exposed for 8 wk to the termites. Additionally, mass losses were measured. The results indicated that the feeding pressure was sufficient according to EN-117 for a valid test. Acetylated wood and DMDHEU-modified wood were classified as durable, showing excellent termite resistance. Furfurylated wood was resistant in the case of non-leached specimens; however, the leaching process led to a classification of non-durable. Thus, the new modification technologies open a real possibility of their use in the Mediterranean region as alternative preventive treatments against subterranean termites. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The mini-blocks treated with 15% concentrations of AS resisted decay by T versicolor and C. puteana over a long time (12 weeks), while samples treated with low and moderate concentrations underwent considerable mass losses. Accordingly, microscopic studies revealed a high degree of colonisation by the white rot fungus and loss of cell wall integrity (brown rot) in samples treated with 2% AS. At high AS content (15%), no or only initial stages of decay could be observed. In the European standard (1996) test EN 113, the mass loss in all fungal cultures except for the white rot ascomycete H. fragiforme was below 5%, when the samples were treated with 15% AS.

Wood blocks treated to the highest WPG (22%) attained 70% anti-swelling efficiency (ASE). High ASE values were caused by cell wall bulking through incorporation of GA in the cell wall and as a result of reduction of the maximum degree of swelling in water, i.e., through crosslinking of cell wall polymers. During 10 water submersion and drying cycles, untreated and GA treated specimens displayed equal weight losses indicating that mainly wood constituents were washed out. These cyclic water submersion tests also caused approximately 10% reduction in ASE in samples treated to higher WPG.
