Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present study aimed to determine how acetylation affected the bonding properties of European hornbeam wood. The research was supplemented with the investigation of wetting properties, wood shear strength, and microscopical studies of bonded wood, as these all have strong relationships with wood bonding. Acetylation was carried out on an industrial scale. Acetylated hornbeam showed a higher contact angle and lower surface energy than untreated hornbeam. Although the adhesion of the acetylated wood surface is lower due to its lower polarity and porosity, the bonding strength of acetylated hornbeam was similar to that of untreated hornbeam when bonded with PVAc D3 adhesive, and it was higher in the case of PVAc D4 and PUR adhesives. Microscopical studies proved these findings. After acetylation, hornbeam could be used in applications where it is exposed to moisture, as its bonding strength after soaking or boiling in water was significantly higher than that of untreated hornbeam.
