Kúdela, Jozef, 1954- Surface properties of a medium density fibreboard evaluated from the viewpoint of its surface treatment / Jozef Kúdela. -- Graf., obr., tab. -- Lit. - The paper is focused on the study and analysis of specified surface properties of medium density fibreboards (MDF). The primary purpose was to acquire data expressing the surface properties of these materials. The study results related to the morphology of the MDF surface show structural differences between the MDF surfaces and the core layers. The surface layer with the thickness from 1 to 2 mm, consisted of fine wood fibres impregnated with the glue and paraffin. In the inspected MDF boards, this surface layerin interaction with the pressing technology, induced lower roughness and clearly higher resistance to water and against non-polar liquids.The MDF surfaces also showed low surface free energy with dominating dispersion component. In the case of applying the film-forming substances, this may result in uneven spreading of the substances across and their poorer adhesion to the MDF surface.
