Abstract:

Researches on wood nanocomposites, which involve nano science and technology, wood science, materials science and other related subjects, have important science signification and promising prospect for the development and study of new wood composites with high appending values and multi-properties. Based on the great achievements of polymer/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites, this paper systematically reviewed the nano intercalation compounding methods of in situ intercalative polymerization and polymer intercalation. According to the main chemical components and cell wall structure of wood and the structure and properties of montmorillonite, this paper discussed the liquefaction and plasticization of wood and the modification of MMT, and then put forward the basic idea, the technological processes and the schematic diagram to prepare wood/MMT nanocomposites.

Key words: wood, montmorillonite(MMT), nano intercalation compounding, technological process
