Abstract
High-energy irradiation of a biogenic polymer is of interest from different perspectives, as this type of modification process may beneficially influence various functional and structural properties of wood. This study deals with the influence of electron beam irradiation (EBI) on the artificial weathering behavior of larch wood. The results of color measurement and infrared spectra show different effects of the EBI at dosages of 1 and 30 kGy during weathering tests. The results may provide a helpful basis for further fundamental research to improve weathering of wood by EBI.
