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.

Conference Paper Description
To prohibit wood hygroscopicity, changing naturally hydrophilic wood surface into hydrophobic surface is essential. To achieve this goal, one possible approach is to coat nanostructured metal oxides on wood surface. In this study, wood surface coated by ZnO nanorod arrsys (ZNAs) was successfully fabricated using a hydrothermal method with subsequent modification by a thin layer of n-dodecyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS). SEM images showed uniformly large-scale ZNAs were grown onto the wood surface. XRD patterns confirmed that the ZNAs were the hexagonal wurtzite phase. The wettability of the ZNAs modified wood sample was evaluated by water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The ZNAs modified wood was found to exhibit superhydrophobicity with a WCA of about 156° and a sliding angle of around 2°, which could resulted from the proper surface roughness and lower surface energy. These results demonstrated that hydrothermal method was a feasible method to create superhydrophobic wood. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications.
