Abstract:Although γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) was proved to be an effective reagent for improving the dimensional stability of wood, a bottleneck in ASE value (around 50%) existed. The reason was that MPS with low polarity opened few hydrogen bonds in the amorphous region of cellulose, while these hydrogen bonds could be reopened by water. Therefore, citric acid (CA) is chosen to cooperate with MPS to further enhance the dimensional stability of wood. In this paper, MPS and CA were used to modify wood in… Show more
