    The effect of air plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure on thermally modified wood surfaces

    This study tests the hypothesis that thermal modification of wood influences the effectivity of air plasma treatment. Micro-veneers of European beech, Scots pine and Norway spruce were thermally modified at tw...
