Tóm tắt

A study of the wood-inorganic composites prepared by the sol-gel process with a metal alkoxide indicated that an inorganic modification of wood with TiO2 gels from tetraisopropoxytitanium (TPT) can not improve its properties due to the formation of the gels in the cell lumina by high hydrolysis rate of TPT. In this study, therefore, titanium alkoxides or titanium chelates which have the lower rate of hydrolysis and subsequent polycondensation than TPT were used for preparing TiO2 wood-inorganic composites to study the topochemical effects of the TiO2 gels for the property enhancement of wood. As a result, it was found by SEM-EDXA analysis that the TiO2 gels deposited within the cell walls could improve the properties of wood in dimensional stability and fire-resistance, whereas for the gels in the cell lumina, property enhancement could not be achieved, as observed in SiO2 wood-inorganic composites.
