Evaluation of Surface Hydrophobic Performance of Nano-TiO2 Modified Wood
In order to improve the hydrophobic characteristics of wood,wood surface was modified by a TiO2 solution followed by a low surface energy treatment with stearic acid and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane(HDTMS),respectively.The results showed that the wood surface coated with TiO2nanoparticles and the hydrophobic agents were introduced successfully onto the surface of the nanoparticles.Compared with the wood coated with TiO2only,the water contact angles of the modified wood showed remarkable improvement and the HDTMS resulted in superior hydrophobic improvement over stearic acid.
