A reaction of [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane with wood and cellulose – chemical analyses
A reaction of [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane with wood and cellulose – chemical analyses. The paper presents tests results for [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (AATMOS) reactivity with cellulose and Scots pine wood. The tested material was treated with ethanolic solution of aminosilane and analyzed using instrumental methods, including elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. The results of the chemical analysis indicated that [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane exhibited reactivity with both cellulose and pine wood. In addition, AATMOS-treated cellulose showed a higher content of silicon and nitrogen and more significant changes in FTIR spectra than the treated wood, suggesting that AATMOS showed a higher reactivity to cellulose than to wood.
