Characterization of wood modification prepared by in situ polymerization with pre-polymer and the mechanism of modification
2013 - IRG/WP 13-40633
Chemical modification of wood is a potential way to obtain high quality wood. In this study, the fast-growing poplar was impregnated with modifier using a pulse-dipping machine by in situ polymerization. Fungal decay analysis, mechanical properties and dimension stability of the natural and modified woods were investigated. The wood samples were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Therma...

Effect of insitu polymerization on practical properties of heat treated wood
2016 - IRG/WP 16-40763
This research was conducted to investigate the effect of combined modification; heat treatment and impregnation with styrene monomer on physical and mechanical properties of poplar wood (Populus deltoides). Test samples were grouped in six levels of control, wood polymer made from styrene, heat treatment at 170 ºC and 200ºC and combined modification; first hat treated at 170 ºC and 200ºC and t...

Introduction of UV absorbers to wood surfaces via atom transfer radical polymerization
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30834
Wood is a promising material suited for both residential and commercial construction. However, the structure of the wood materials varies depending on the environmental factors such as microorganisms, water, and light. In particular, wood surfaces exposed to outdoor conditions are rapidly degraded because cell wall chemical components such as lignin structure strongly absorb ultraviolet (UV) light...
