Abstract: | In this study, the contact angles of four different reference liquids (including distilled water, diiodomethane, formadide
and glycerol) formed on the surfaces of wood, treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and two other emerging copper-based
water-borne systems (commercial names: NW and NS) were measured with sessile drop method. Based on the contact angle data,
the surface energy was obtained from the acid-base approach. The total surface energy consisted of Lifshiz-van der Waals parameter
and acid-base parameter. Results showed that the NW and CCA treatments made the wood surface more hydrophobic while the NS
treatment had the reverse effect on the wood surface mainly owing to the increased penetration of earlywood. By using three
liquids, diiodomethane, formamide and distilled water, the total surface energy obtained for untreated earlywood, untreated
latewood, CCA-treated earlywood, CCA-treated latewood, NW-treated earlywood, NW-treated latewood, NS-treated earlywood and
NS-treated latewood were 43.1, 44.5, 43.4, 45.1, 49.4, 40.6, 46.0 and 40.9 mJ/m2, respectively. The surface energy of CCA-treated wood was almost the same as untreated wood. After NW and NS treatments,
the surface energy of both earlywood and latewood changed a little. However, the change was not so obvious as to draw any
further conclusion concerning the influence of NW and NS treatments on the surface energy of wood.
