ABSTRACT Nanoparticles have been vastly applied in wood polymer composites (WPCs) in the recent years to improve some of the drawbacks of solid wood species. In the present study, the effects of ZnO nanoparticles on fire retarding, physical, and mechanical properties of polymerized poplar wood were investigated. Poplar specimens were impregnated with styrene monomer, containing four different contents of nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5%, based on the dry weight of monomer). Results of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed homogeneous dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles in the WPC matrix. Nano-zinc oxide improved physical properties such as dimensional stability and water absorption. Moreover, mechanical properties increased in comparison to the control specimens. The impregnation process also significantly improved some of the fire-retarding properties, including the ignition time; however, the flammability nature of styrene aggravated some others, such as carbonized area. It was concluded that, although most of the properties were improved, the final application of WPC should be taken in to consideration before making decision on whether or not to impregnate populus wood with styrene.

The use of metal oxides in heterogeneous base catalysis has gained a large interest due to their application in many chemical and industrial processes and is environmental friendly. Basic metal oxides are commonly used and their structures, morphology and performance can be modified by method of preparation and thermal activation. In this study, surface modified amphoteric zinc oxide was prepared via hydration-dehydration method and characterised by TGA and FTIR. The basic strength at various temperatures is characterised by FTIR and back titration analyses. The results shows that surface modified zinc oxide has the highest basic strength of 1.453mmolg-1at 400°C making it a relatively good and suitable compound for use in heterogeneous basic catalysis. This result is also supported by FTIR spectra which show possible relationship between the Lewis O2-and increasing basic strength.

The copolymer of sodium polyacrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) was prepared by radical polymerization process, the effect of mass ratio of AA/AMPS on the viscosity of AA-AMPS copolymer were investigated. Results showed that when the mole ratio of AA/AMPS was 3:1, it had the least viscosity. The dispersion stability of synthesized AA-AMPS copolymer for nanozinc oxide was tested.
