dc.abstract.enThis paper presents the effect of wood treatment with cellulose nanofibers on its parameters. The wettability, color changes (also after UV+IR radiation), equilibrium moisture content and mechanical parameters of wood treated with cellulose nanofibers (CNF) in three concentrations (0.5, 1 and 2%) were determined. Wood treatment with CNF increased the wettability of its surface, as evidenced by lower values of the contact angle (24.3–56.3 degrees) compared to untreated wood (98.3 degrees). The SEM images indicated the formation of cellulose nanofiber networks on the wood surface, especially in the case of 2% CNF-treated wood, which formed a well-adhered and homogenous film. Wood treated with 0.5% CNF showed a lower total color change (∆E*) value (1.9) after aging compared to untreated wood (2.9), indicating that the color changes in the treated wood were very small and recognizable only to an experienced observer, while the color differences in the control wood were recognizable to an inexperienced observer. Furthermore, CNF showed no negative effect on the strength parameters of the treated wood and only slightly affected the equilibrium moisture content for both sorption phases over the entire relative humidity range compared to control samples. The results prove the effective use of cellulose nanofibers in wood treatment, which can be an ecological and non-toxic component of wood protection systems.
