Abstract
Confocal Raman Spectroscopy in
combination with a 785 nm or 830 nm
laser is a useful tool to analyse wood
samples because of the low excitation
probability of fluorescence of these
lasers. This technique provides chemical
information with high spatial resolution
and was therefore used to determine the
lignin and cellulose content in wood cell
walls. In addition composites of
melamine formaldehyde and wood were
analysed. It could be demonstrated that
Melamine formaldehyde (MF) partly
permeated into wood cell walls.
