Research on the Impregnation Process and Mechanism of Silica Sol/Phenolic Resin Modified Poplar Wood
Phenolic resin-modified materials partially reduce the toughness of the wood. In this study, organic–inorganic composite modifiers were used to modify the wood. Silica sol/phenolic resin was prepared through in-situ polymerization, and poplar wood was modified using a vacuum pressure impregnation process, enhancing its toughness. Orthogonal experiments were conducted, and the impact toughness of the modified poplar wood was used as the evaluation index. Through orthogonal experiments, using the impact toughness of modified poplar as the evaluation indicator, it was found that when the average particle size of the silica sol is 8–15 nm, the pressure is 1.2 MPa, and the pressurization time is 3 h, the impregnation-modified poplar’s impact toughness reaches its optimum, improving by 84.1% and 135.4% compared to the raw material and phenolic resin impregnated wood, respectively. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) results indicated that the characteristic absorption peak of Si-O-Si appears in the poplar wood after impregnation, confirming the formation of new silicon-oxygen (Si-O) chemical bonds. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that a chemical reaction occurs between the impregnation liquid and the wood, generating Si-O-C. Subsequently, through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis, it was understood that this chemical reaction significantly enhances the thermal stability and toughness of the impregnated material, making it superior to the original poplar material. The TGA further unveiled that, compared to untreated poplar, the thermal stability of the impregnated material has been notably improved. Lastly, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated that the composite impregnation liquid successfully permeates and fills the interior of the poplar cells.
