Characterization and Thermal Stability of Acetylated Slicewood Production by Alkali-Catalyzed Esterification

This study was compared and characterized two different alkali (potassium carbonate (PC) and potassium acetate (PA))-catalyzed acetylations of slicewood with vinyl acetate (VA) by a vapor phase reaction. The results revealed that the esterification reaction between VA and the hydroxyl groups of slic...
