Surface Chemistry. In the present case, we are looking at the surface chemistry of wood. There is a chemical surface and a physical surface.... Some properties of wood are controlled by surface chemistry and some by bulk chemistry. To a wood chemist, it is easy to describe the surface of a piece of 404 stainless steel. To a chemist working with stainless steel, it is easy to describe the surface of wood, but to a wood chemist, it is very hard to define the surface of wood. 2, record 1, English, - wood%20chemist
