Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)	Wood surface modification for UV protection and water repellency in indoor applications
Abstract (Deutsch)	UV radiation deteriorates the aesthetical appearance of wood by decomposing wood polymers at its surface. A technology for wood surface modification based on Layer-by-Layer deposition (LbL) has been adapted to wood and further developed, which results both in UV protection and water repellency with a nearly invisible surface coating. It is intended to up-scale the invention for a variety of wood species in the portfolio of the implementation partner for various indoor wood applications.
