Fire retardancy effects in single and double layered sol-gel derived TiO2 and SiO2-wood composites

, 2012
Sol-gel derived TiO2 and SiO2-wood inorganic composites are prepared by direct vacuum infiltration of silicon and titanium alkoxide based precursors in pine sapwood in one or two cycles followed by a controlled thermal curing process. The resulting flame
