Modification of pine-wood/formaldehyde-urea resin composites using electron-beam radiation

摘要

Modification of pine woods which impregnated with formaldehyde-urea resin and subsequently cured by electron-beam (EB) radiation was studied. The results showed that the impregnated wood samples can easily cured by EB radiation under dose of 40~60 kGy in air. And the water resistance and tensile strength of the wood samples were both improved significantly with proper treatments of impregnation and EB radiation curing.
