The biological properties and, particularly, the antioxidant activity of plant hydroxycinnamic acids, such as caΓΎ eic and ferulic acids, are well recognised. This preliminary study was designed to estimate the potential utility of caΓΎ eic and ferulic acids to prevent, when topically applied, photoox

β¦ Synopsis
Protection of wood surfaces against photoinduced oxidative degradation can be achieved by using effective coating agents. Several penetrating chemical agents, such as trio1-G 400, PEG G 400, and l-octadecanol, were shown to provide good protection for wood surfaces against discoloration during ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, wood surfaces coated with clear filmforming finishes, such as homo-and copolymers of 2-hydroxy-4 (3-methacryloxy-2-hydroxypropoxy) benzophenone, exhibited outstanding performance into inhibiting discoloration and surface deterioration. Infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra and scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that the clear polymeric coatings containing an internal W absorber were very stable and resistant to photooxidation. Possible chemistry and mechanisms of protection of wood surfaces provided by these polymeric coating systems are discussed.

## Abstract The importance of using synthetic antioxidants to improve oxidation stability and shelf life of biodiesel is today generally accepted. In our investigations which started early with the development of biodiesel we have looked at the course of stability, ageing of biodiesel, and the use
The charring of wood studs has been studied in the cone calorimeter at constant heat flux 50 kW/m 2 and compared to data from full-scale furnace wall tests. The wood studs were unprotected or protected by gypsum plasterboards on the exposed side. Similar charring depths were found and the data analy
## Synopsis Changes in the composition and structure of the surfaces of polyphenylene oxide (PPO) and polysulfone caused by UV photooxidation are followed using ESCA. The surface stoichiometry of PPO changes from CsOl to Cs04.s on photooxidation, the oxygen being added in the form of car-bony1 and
