In this investigation, silver fir wood (Abies alba) samples (FW) were impregnated with some polymeric systems, as follows: (1) a block copolymer of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) grafted with maleic anhydride (MA), denoted as SEBS-MA; (2) a block copolymer of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) grafted with maleic anhydride (MA), denoted as SEBS-MA, used in combination with ZnO for the preservation of wood surfaces applied by spraying on the wood surfaces pre-treated with a suspension of ZnO in isopropyl alcohol. The treated samples before and after UV irradiation were characterized by FTIR, Raman, chromatic parameters and mechanical analysis.
