“…Prior to their preservation, the wooden artworks should be properly characterized in order to determine the structural and compositional features of the woods. In this regards, an extensive investigation of the wooden materials can be achieved by using several diagnostics techniques, such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (Bardet et al 2002;Žlahtič Zupanc et al 2019;Iwamoto et al 2019), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) (Carrillo-Varela et al 2018), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (Popescu et al 2007;Emmanuel et al 2015;Broda and Popescu 2019), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) (Guo et al 2006;Borysiak 2013;Lin et al 2018), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM,) (Notley and Wågberg 2005;Casdorff et al 2017) and thermal analyses (Cavallaro et al 2011a;Sebio-Puñal et al 2012;Blanco et al 2017;Girometta et al 2017).…”

Thermal and structural properties of historical woods from apparatuses of the Historical Collection of the Physics Instruments of the University of Palermo have been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy coupled with thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. Specifically, the wooden portions of apparatuses from XIX century have been studied. The thermal behavior of the wooden materials has been successfully interpreted on the basis of specific indexes determined by the quantitative analysis of the FTIR spectra. The kinetics of the wood pyrolysis have been investigated by using a non-isothermal approach based on model-free isoconversional procedures, such as Kissinger−Akahira−Sunose (KAS) and Friedman methods. Interestingly, the activation energy of the pyrolysis process reflects both the peculiar composition (related to the specific wooden taxon) and the conservation state of the historical woods. The thermogravimetric parameters have been correlated to the lignin index of the woods by proper experimental equations, which can be considered as a novel protocol to estimate the preservation conditions of historical woods from different taxon.

Poor mildew resistance has limited the application of bamboo materials. In this work, ZnO/PMHS coatings were fabricated on bamboo timber surfaces by hydrothermal synthesis method and hydrophobic modification with poly(methylhydrogen)siloxane (PMHS). The surface chemical characteristics and microstructure of the bamboo before and after modification were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and water contact angle (WCA). The morphology results indicated that ZnO on the surface of bamboo forms flower-like aggregations. The WCA of ZnO/bamboo increased from 65° to 142° after PMHS hydrophobic modification, indicating that the hydrophobicity of bamboo was significantly improved. The original bamboo had poor anti-mildew properties when exposed to Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium citrinum. After depositing ZnO onto the surface of the bamboo, the anti-mildew properties were significantly improved. Furthermore, it was found that after PMHS hydrophobic modification, ZnO/bamboo had excellent anti-mildew properties when exposed to the three mold hyphae, which indicated that PMHS hydrophobic modification had a synergistic effect on the anti-mildew properties of bamboo with a ZnO coating.

“…Therefore, the effect of additional content of PMHS and inhibitor on the hydrophobicity of wood was investigated. In our previous work [21], PMHS content was optimized to be 1.0 wt.% to acquire a desirable hydrophobicity. Figure 1 reveals the effect of inhibitor content on the hydrophobicity of wood at radial-and cross-sections.…”

“…Recently, our previous work applied poly(methylhydrogen)siloxane (PMHS) as a hydrophobic modifier to afford wood good hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties [21]. The modification process of wood was simple, effective, and inexpensive by immerging wood into the modifier solution at room temperature.…”

Practical application of wood remains a great challenge because of its highly hydrophilic property. In this work, highly hydrophobic wood was produced using an environment-friendly and two-component package method. Poly(methylhydrogen)siloxane (PMHS) and inhibitor played the key role in the hydrophobicity of wood and the assembly process. The two-component package mechanism was discussed in detail. As a result, the water contact angles of the modified wood surface for the radial and cross sections were 139.5° and 152.9°, respectively, which provided the resultant wood high hydrophobicity and dimensional stability. The two-component package method afforded the wood good anti-fouling property and UV-resistance. In addition, the two-component package method could also be applied in functionalization of filter paper for oil/water separation.
