Abstract:Acacia mangium requires the addition of a finishing material to increase its resistance to weathering. Herein, the effectiveness of a nanocoating containing titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) as a finishing material for mangium wood was investigated. The coating material formulations used were oil-based (V1) and water-based (V2) varnishes with TiO2-NP concentrations of 1% (CT1), 5% (CT5), and 10% (CT10) (w/v). The uncoated and coated samples were subjected to weathering periods of 0, 2, and 4 months. Th… Show more
