Leachability and Decay Resistance of Wood Polyesterified with Sorbitol and Citric Acid

Leachability and Decay Resistance of Wood Polyesterified with Sorbitol and Citric Acid

<i>Research Highlights:</i> Polyesterification of wood with sorbitol and citric acid (SCA) increases decay resistance against brown-rot and white-rot fungi without reducing cell wall moisture content but the SCA polymer is susceptible to hydrolysis. <i>Background and Objectives:<...
