Multi - interfacial structural design of wood surfaces for enhanced durability, superhydrophobicity, and decay resistance

Key Points

• Enhanced superhydrophobicity significantly improves moisture resistance in wood surfaces, indicating better durability.
• Overall decay resistance increases by 50% after applying multi-interfacial structural designs on wood samples.
• Analysis using a novel approach to interfacial structure provides insights into wood surface treatment methods.
• These findings underscore the importance of innovative design for outdoor wood applications; further testing needed.
