Hybrid wood materials with improved fire retardance by bio-inspired mineralisation on the nano- and submicron level

Inspired by natural matrix-mediated biomineralisation, we present an artificial calcification approach for wood, which predominately targets the hardly accessible nanoporous cell wall structure rather than the micron-sized void system of the cell lumina. CaCO sub(3) can be deposited with this method...

Description
Summary:Inspired by natural matrix-mediated biomineralisation, we present an artificial calcification approach for wood, which predominately targets the hardly accessible nanoporous cell wall structure rather than the micron-sized void system of the cell lumina. CaCO sub(3) can be deposited with this method deep inside the wood structure. Mineralisation of the wood cell wall architecture with CaCO sub(3) offers a green alternative to conventional fire-retardant systems.
