Nanostructural Changes Correlated to Decay Resistance of Chemically Modified Wood Fibers

Reactive chemical modifications have been shown to impart decay resistance to wood. These modifications change hydroxyl availability, water uptake, surface energy, and the nanostructure of wood. Because fungal action occurs on the micro and nano scale, further investigation into the nanostructure ma...
