Polymer impregnated fibrous materials. The resistance of polymer-wood composites to chemical corrosion
Journal Article

· Composites, v. 4, no. 6, pp. 246-253
The resistance to chemical attack of polymer composites (formed by impregnating tirnber with liquid monomers which are subsequently polymerized in the interstices of the wood by high-energy radiation) based on ash, birch, elm, and maple was evaluated for a representative range of corrosive reagents. The behavior of these composites was compared with that of the untreated parent timbers, and with teak and iroko which have a high natural resistance to corrosion. The chemical resistance of composites is generally 2 to 5 times greater than that of untreated timbers. (auth)
