Novel approaches for a non-toxic protection of timber have been investigated and referred to
as “wood modification”. Especially, chemical impregnation modifications show promising …

To promote the performance of fast-growing poplar wood for furniture applications, this study
proposes and investigates the feasibility of modifying fast-growing poplar wood with a urea …

The simple, high-performance, and flame-retardant modification method is significantly
important for the effective utilization of wood. In this work, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) …

Fast‐growing plantation typically has some undesirable inherent qualities that restrict their
use as engineering materials, such as dimensional instability, poor mechanical strength …

A transparent intumescent flame retardant coating was prepared using melamine
formaldehyde resin (MF) as the film-forming resin, phosphoric acid-pentaerythritol (H 3 PO 4 …

In order to improve the performance of soft plantation wood, an environmentally friendly
wood modifier was developed. First, using urea and melamine as crosslinking agents, the …

Melamine, polyvinyl alcohol, and adipic acid dihydrazide as modifiers were added to urea-
formaldehyde (UF) resin for reducing the free formaldehyde. The influence of addition …

With the development of economy and science and technology, people put forward higher
standards for the performance of the surface coating of wood products, which requires us to …

Wood of radiata pine (Pinus radiata Don) was treated with an aqueous styrene/acrylic acid
(St/AA) copolymer dispersion leading to weight percent gains (WPGs) of 10–42%. The …

The flame retardancy and dimensional stability of wood were improved by pretreating wood
with succinic anhydride (SA), and then impregnating the SA-treated wood with melamine …
