Mold resistance of bamboo treated with copper complexes-grafted silica gel and its microdistribution in treated bamboo
Abstract Bamboo is readily discolored by mold fungi, which greatly limits its applications. An effective antifungal agent, copper(II) chloride (CuCl2)-grafted silica gel, was prepared by a sol–gel process using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)/3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) mixtures. The elemental com...
