Effect of accelerated weathering on surface chemistry of modified wood
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of UV-light irradiation and water spray on colour and surface chemistry of scots pine sapwood samples were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Surface roughness and color characteristics of wood treated with preservatives after accelerated weathering test
TL;DR: In this paper, the changes on the surface of the weathered samples were characterized by roughness and color measurements on the samples with 0, 200, 400 and 600h of total weathering.

Qualitative and quantitative determination of extractives in heartwood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) by gas chromatography.
TL;DR: A method for quantitative determination of extractives from heartwood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) using gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection (FID) was developed and gave good yields of the most important extractives: pinosylvin, pinsylvin monomethyl ether, resin acids and free fatty acids.

Chemistry and ecotoxicology of furfurylated wood
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that concentrations of non-reacted furfuryl alcohol in the final products are low and do not contribute to any fungicidal effect, and degradation through combustion does not release any volatile organic compounds or polyaromatic hydrocarbons above normal levels for wood combustion.

Decay resistance of wood treated with boric acid and tall oil derivates
TL;DR: Boric acid at 2% concentration combined with the tall oil derivate consisting of 90% free resin acids (TO-III) showed the best performance against the two decay fungi with a weight loss less than 3% after a modified pure culture test.
