Technology of modification wood with synthetic polymer is designed. It is useful for improvement of consumer value of low-grade soft wood such as poplar, aspen, alder or birch as well as for utilization of wood-making industry wastes such as cuttings, sawdust and chips. Composite materials are manufactured by impregnation of wood with synthetic monomers or oligomers and subsequent radiation polymerization. The materials excel all kinds of natural wood in their resistance to abrasion and corrosion. The development was carried out using a linear electron accelerator with electron energy 5 -8 MeV and beam power 5 kW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
