Weathering leads to rapid depolymerization and modification of wood chemical components. The present study aims to assess the structural and distributional changes in the main wood polymers, such as lignin and poly-saccharides, located in the surface layers during weathering exposure. A confocal Raman microscopic technique, which is useful for evaluating the structure of molecules with a high spatial resolution, was utilized to examine the effects of weathering on the chemical composition of wood surfaces at the cellular level. Raman spectra showed that lignin degradation during weathering proceeds with the formation of o- and p-quinones, carbonyl groups, and certain types of C=C double bonds such as stilbene derivatives. Comparing the weathering conditions between light only and light plus water exposure, it was found that weathering in the presence of water significantly enhances the degradation of lignin. The Raman images exhibited that the degree of lignin degradation by light only exposure is according to the depth. However, in the case of light plus water exposure, lignin degradation in the outermost cell walls proceeded from both the exposed surface side and the lumen side of the cell walls. This study is expected to potentially promote development of more effective and efficient methods to protect wood surfaces against weathering.
