Abstract:The influence of ultraviolet radiation on photo-degradation of dyed veneer surfaces of Betulacostata Trautv has been examined in this study. Dyed veneer powder specimens were irradiated with a 45-watt UV light source and exposed 100 hours were analyzed and characterized for color, crystallization performance and microstructure changes by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that dyed veneer powder specimens took a remarkable change (photo-discoloration) in color with… Show more
