November 2023
This study aims to tackle the drawback of non-abrasion-resistance of wood flooring with paint finish. A new method for preparing wood flooring with super-abrasion-resistant coatings by adding nano silicon carbide (SiC) particles to the paint was developed. As indicated by the results, the best mass fraction of nano SiC powder added in ultraviolet (UV) paint is 2.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how photodegradation affects Moso bamboo when exposed to UV light, revealing that UV radiation causes chemical breakdown, discoloration, and surface cracking, which all weaken the material's strength.
- - Results indicated a significant reduction in lignin content after UV exposure; lignin degradation products absorb UV light and contribute to early stages of discoloration, shifting the bamboo's surface spectral properties.
- - Initially, photochemical reactions were rapid but slowed down after a week, with degraded products forming a protective layer, resulting in a grey and lighter surface over time due to the erosion of these protective materials.
