Abstract

Several wood coatings have been proven to significantly increase the utilization properties of materials and effectively protect the surface of materials, however, several kinds of them contain volatile organic compounds (VCO’s) which produce gases that are very harmful to people and the environment. To address this problem, Organosilanes are used in a variety of high-performance coatings as an alternative for they are commonly known as adhesion promoters- acting as a binding agent between organic resins and inorganic substrates. In this study, silane-aniline molecules were grafted on wood surfaces through simple soaking method to improve corrosion resistance and weathering of wooden materials. The FTIR spectra of the sample were analyzed and the effect of varying parameters: soaking time and concentration were also observed.
