THERMAL, MECHANICAL, AND MOISTURE ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF WOOD-TiO2 COMPOSITES PREPARED BY A SOL-GEL PROCESS

Wood-TiO2 (titania) composites were prepared by a sol-gel process, in which wood was impregnated with the precursor solutions prepared from tetrabutyl titanate (TBT), followed by a curing step. The surface morphology and moisture absorption behavior of the wood composites, as well as their thermal a...
