Abstract
TiO2-SiO2 as a potential agent in wood preservation. Hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO2) was successfully grown on a wood surface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to determine the characteristics of grown TiO2-SiO2 and its hydrophobicity. SEM, XRF, AAS and FTIR confirmed that TiO2 was chemically bonded to the wood surface through the combination of hydrogen groups. Results from the combined analyses of SEM and EDX, AAS, FTIR and XRF demonstrated that the TiO2-SiO2 layer was chemically bonded to wood surface. Keywords:
