“…The ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the main responsible of the photodegradation, causing the fastest and the strongest degradation of the wood components. The quantum energies of UV light break many of the chemical bonds presented in the wood constituents [15].…”

“…Thus, a certain degree of surface degradation of the treated wood used in outdoor conditions would still be expected. Therefore, surface protection of thermo-treated wood products would be necessary to enhance the overall effective service life of the final product [15].…”

“…The effects of thermal treatments on properties of lesser-used hardwood species, such as Alder wood, have been understudied [15]. Italian Alder (Alnus cordata (Loisel) Duby) can grow very rapidly (up to 30 m tall and reaching 70-80 cm in diameter) in the soil at increased humidity along watercourses [34][35][36].…”

“…Recent plantations were also established in other European countries including France, Spain, Portugal, England, and the Netherlands. It has also been recently introduced in New Zealand and Chile [15]. It shows a density of 0.560 g/cm 3 at 12% moisture content, while the strength is variable with density.…”

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the hydrophobic effect and chemical changes induced by thermo-treatment and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) on the surface properties of Alder (Alnus cordata (Loisel) Duby) wood before and after an artificial weathering test. Thermal treatment was conducted at a temperature of 200 °C for 4 h in a thermo-vacuum cylinder. Then, the paper sizing agent, AKD at different concentrations of a solution of 0.1%, 0.5% and 10% was used as a potential hydrophobizing reagent for untreated and thermally treated alder wood surfaces. The contact angle measurement, ATR-FTIR analysis and colour variation were carried out for the samples. The preliminary results revealed that the contact angle values of the wood materials increased with thermal modification. However, the influence of the thermal treatment on hydrophobicity was small when compared to the substantial effect of the AKD application in this respect, and also after the artificial weathering test. The FTIR analysis supported the hypothesis that AKD could make bonds chemically stable even when using a small concentration of AKD. The findings acquired in this work provide important information for future research and the utilization of the AKD on lesser-used wood species.

There hasn't been a quick and easy way to physically connect outdated test instruments to your computer, most engineers need to program and control test instruments and communicate with them from a PC or laptop, It wound wasted a lot of time and effort getting your instruments hooked up, dealing with driver issues and writing code. Thermal vacuum test and thermal balance test are required in the development process of aerospace equipment, the integrated technology of thermal vacuum test and thermal balance test can more reasonably organize the thermal test process and further improve the development efficiency, in order to study the achievable integration of thermal test technology. the internal connection between two kinds of thermal tests was analyzed, and a test method of using one thermal boundary temperature control simulation device to complete two thermal tests in a test was proposed. Based on this, a simulation example of the integration of a program-controlled power supply for a project was used to verify the correctness of the integrated technology, that can simplify outdated test instruments connection, communication, and programming tasks.
