This review article discusses the use of organosilane (OS) compounds and their derivatives
to modify wood materials. The emphasis in this work is on trialkoxysilanes and effects of their …

This paper presents the water vapour sorption behaviour of degraded archaeological oak
(Quercus robur L.) and the influence of methyltrimethoxysilane treatment on hygroscopicity …

Sol–gel derived TiO 2 and SiO 2-wood inorganic composites are prepared by direct vacuum
infiltration of silicon and titanium alkoxide based precursors in pine sapwood in one or two …

Waterlogged wood conservation focuses primarily on its dimensional stabilisation to prevent
irreversible deformations that occur upon drying. It also aims to solve the concerns regarding …

This investigation was aimed to study the mechanical and the thermal properties behavior of
kenaf core (untreated and treated with silane)–polyurethane composites. Three different …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust and it is no surprise that
various contents of this element may be found in plants, and also in different lignocellulosic …

This study evaluates the thermal property of clay dispersed Styrene-co-Glycidal
Methacrylate impregnated wood polymer nanocomposite (WPNC). The WPNC was …

Experiments using archaeological wooden remains of a medieval “Poznań” bridge from the
Lednica Lake, Wielkopolska Region, Poland, were performed to evaluate the stabilisation …

It was necessary to protect and restore the decayed wood in the ancient buildings, in which
reinforcing and restoring the damaged components with in situ and non-destructed strategy …

Paper presents the decay and mould resistance of the Scots pine sapwood specimens
modified with four organo-silanes, the methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), the …
