Abstract Sodium silicate modification can improve the overall performance of wood. The modification process has a great
influence on the properties of modified wood. In this study, a new method was introduced to analyze the wood
modification process, and the properties of modified wood were studied. Poplar wood was modified with sodium
silicate by vacuum-pressure impregnation. After screening using single-factor experiments, an orthogonal experiment was carried out with solution concentration, impregnation time, impregnation pressure, and the cycle times
as experimental factors. The modified poplar with the best properties was selected by fuzzy mathematics and
characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD and TG.… More >
