Improvement of mechanical, dimensional and biological stability of woods via gamma-radiation by using allyl alcohol- based copolymers

Abstract

This paper reviews the synthesis and characterization of allyl alcohol based copolymers and their applicati- on into woods and the improvement of dimensional, mechanical and biological stability of woods by using gamma-radiation. Selection of monomer and/or monomer pairs, copolymerization, impregnation, gamma-irradiation, artifical ageing, dimensional and mechanical stability, biodegradation of treated woods are menti- oned. Novel treatments and technologies are also presented.
