Use of confocal profilometry to quantify erosion of wood and screen chemicals for their ability to photostabilize wood
Optical confocal profilometry is a new technology for characterizing the surfaces of materials. In this thesis, I hypothesize that confocal profilometry will be able to more accurately measure the erosion of wood during weathering than optical microscopy. Confocal profilometry may be able to screen...
