Abstract
Abstract To explore the typical alkyltrichlorosilane and optimal volume ratio of the alkyltrichlorosilane-toluene solutions for preparing superhydrophobic Pinus kesiya wood, four alkyltrichlorosilanes: methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS), butyltrichlorosilane (BTCS), dodecyltrichlorosilane (DTCS), and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTCS) were each used to modify the wood samples at different volume ratios of alkyltrichlorosilane-toluene solutions. The Pinus kesiya wood specimens were immersed in the solutions to fabricate superhydrophobic coatings on the wood surface. The wettability of the modified wood surfaces was characterized by water contact angle and water uptake values. The chemical composition of the wood samples was analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and the surface morphology of the modified wood samples was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result showed that all types of alkyltrichlorosilane-modified wood changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The wood specimens had the highest water contact angle of 151.8 ± 0.4° and lowest water uptake of 18 ± 0.6 wt.% when 0.25 vol.% MTCS and 0.25 vol.% OTCS solutions were applied, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology (JWCT) is focused on the rapid publication of research advances in the chemistry of bio-based materials and products, including all aspects of wood-based polymers, chemicals, materials, and technology. JWCT provides an international forum for researchers and manufacturers working in wood-based biopolymers and chemicals, synthesis and characterization, as well as the chemistry of biomass conversion and utilization.
JWCT primarily publishes original research papers and communications, and occasionally invited review articles and special issues. Special issues must summarize and analyze state-of-the-art developments within the field of biomass chemistry, or be in tribute to the career of a distinguished researcher. If you wish to suggest a special issue for the Journal, please email the Editor-in-Chief a detailed proposal that includes the topic, a list of potential contributors, and a time-line.
