Influence of Wood Mineralization on the Thermal Degradation of Material

Abstract:

Wood is preferably used in civil engineering for load bearing structures and facing elements. However, its disadvantage is low resistance to degradation factors, even when exposed to high temperature. Mineralization of wood matrix, for example by organosilanes, is one possibility of increasing the durability against weathering and against water exposition. In this work, the influence of the mentioned mineralization substances on the thermal degradation of solid wood is verified by means of thermal analysis.
