Abstract

NEAPP plasma-enhanced process is used to convert high molecular weight, liquid phase polymeric materials that were previously deposited on wood surfaces as thin layers, into hydrophobic, solid state networks. The entrapment of polymeric structures in the surface layers of wood samples and controlled plasma-processing performed in the next step allowed the generation of totally reduced water penetration and still a controlled surface energy.
