Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used as a UV light absorber to protect woode matter from photodegradation.In this paper, intertactions between wood and TiO2 coating are studied, and the efficiency of the coating is evaluated. Molecular and physical modifications in coated and uncoated wood exposed to UV radiation were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
