摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention relates to a method for rendering a non-metallic substrate stably antimicrobial. The method comprises: (a) contacting the substrate with an antimicrobial surfactant; (b) contacting the substrate with a polymeric binder; and (c) subjecting the substrate, surfactant, and binder to conditions at which the substrate becomes stably antimicrobial. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a substrate into which an antimicrobial surfactant and a binder have penetrated.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a wood preserving composition which is free of poly-aspartic acid and its derivatives and comprises mixtures of a metal compound, complexing agents selected from ethanolamines, polyethylenimine, ammonia or a mixture of these compounds, and a vinyl based polymer selected from poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA), poly (acrylamide)(PA), poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP) and poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide)(PNIPAM). The resulting metal amine solution can then be used to formulate a variety of metal-based cellulosic material preserving products.

The use formulation includes (d) water of dilution.
摘要:
This invention relates to a timber preservative solution, to a method of treating timber using the preservative solution and to timber so treated. Boron based timber preservatives are common in the art, since boron is an effective fungicide, termiticide and insecticide that is also environmentally friendly, of low toxicity and fairly simple to apply since it diffuses readily into the timber in the presence of moisture without the need for pressure impregnation or sophisticated machinery. However, the ability of boron to diffuse in this manner results in a commensurate propensity to leach from the timber fairly quickly. This necessitates frequent repeat treatment of the timber to ensure that it remains protected. The timber preserving solution comprises a timber preserving water soluble inorganic salt solute, such as boric acid, borax, boric oxides or, preferably, Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (D.O.T.), dissolved in an aqueous polymer solvent, such as commercially available aqueous polymer products. The boron compound is preferably mixed with the aqueous polymer solvent in a range of concentrations of from about 20 g/l BAE (boric acid equivalent) to about 300 g/l BAE. The timber preserving solution of the invention can be sued in remedial or in-situ treatment of cured timber and to first time or primary treatment of timber, that is treatment of the green timber prior to drying or curing.

摘要:
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing a coating or diffusion layer on a substrate (e.g. a cork) for use in contact with a food product or beverage, said coating or diffusion layer preventing or inhibiting passage therethrough (e.g. from a cork to an alcoholic beverage) of flavour-active or odour-active compounds (commonly known as cork taint), and said method comprising applying to the surface of said substrate an effective amount of a copolymer comprising a flexible component and a retentive component, said flexible component being sufficiently flexible to allow the coated substrate to undergo compression and recovery (e.g. so as to allow a coated cork according to the present invention to be compressed and then to recover during the bottling process) and said retentive component being able to bind with or otherwise retain flavour-active or odour-active compounds. In a second aspect, the present invention provides a coated substrate, and in particular a coated natural or synthetic cork, produced according to that method.

摘要:
The invention relates to a wood surface layer for a parquet and a method for manufacturing the same. A piece of fresh wood is cut in the cross-grain direction into slices or blocks which are carried through a microwave oven. Immediately downstream of the oven, as the slices or blocks are cooling, the surface thereof is coated with a water-soluble polyalcohol which impregnates in wood as a result of the action of a vacuum developing within the wood. The polyalcohol replaces some of the cell-wall water of wood and thus prevents the formation of seasoning cracks and the moisture induced movements in wood.
摘要:
A flexible structure is formed by subjecting cellulose-based natural wood material to a chemical treatment that partially removes hemicellulose and lignin therefrom. The treated wood has a unique 3-D porous structure with numerous channels, excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, and improved flexibility as compared to the natural wood. By further modifying the treated wood, the structure can be adapted to particular applications. For example, nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, or any other coating or material can be added to the treated wood to form a hybrid structure. In some embodiments, open lumina within the structure can be at least partially filled with a non-wood substance, such as a flexible polymer, or with entangled cellulose nanofibers. The unique architecture and superior properties of the flexible wood allow for its use in various applications, such as, but not limited to, structural materials, solar thermal devices, flexible electronics, tissue engineering, thermal management, and energy storage.
