AbstractLow-temperature plasma was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of wood. The pre-treatment of wood surfaces using radio-frequency (RF) discharge plasma is attractive for various wood applications, mainly because of the high efficiency and low production cost of the process. In addition, a significant increase in the polar component of the wood surface energy, which is associated with the presence of acid-base interactions (electron donor-acceptor bonds), after modification by RF discharge plasma was identified. The treatment of wood by RF plasma exhibited an aging effect, with the modified surface never recovering its initial hydrophobic state. Indeed, the enhancement of the wettability of wood is necessary for promoting better adhesion with water-based adhesives and coatings, which is currently the subject of ongoing study. 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
