Durability of water-soluble coatings on wood, weathered in natural conditions. The appearance and durability of coatings on wood joinery is important for economic and aesthetic reasons. This paper discusses the results of observations carried out after 36 months of exposure in natural conditions according to the requirements of PN-EN 927-3. The degree of changes of paint coatings applied to samples of wood - pine and larch, was evaluated.
Effect of variable temperature and moisture content conditions on selected properties of wood-CFRP composite Intended structural application of wood-CFRP composite requires analysis of its properties in time function, including environmental conditions changes. The paper presents results of selected mechanical and physical properties of composite, using artificial aging methods. It was shown that artificial aging cycles determined according to standards and other regulations, relating to 1 year of natural aging, caused a decrease of composite's density, as well as a significant decrease of Young's modulus, with negligible change in the values of bending strength.
