Crystalline Structure of Cellulose in Wood after Chemical Modification Using Cyclic Acid Anhydrides (Maleic and Succinic)
The chemical modification of wood can be directed to improve various properties, e.g., the dimensional stability, hardness properties, and/or durability properties, against weathering.In this study, a Romanian softwood species Abies alba L.was treated and chemically modified using two cyclic acid anhydrides, i.e., maleic and succinic, to improve it
