Surface functionalization of bamboo with nanostructured ZnO
Abstract
Imparting excellent preservative performances to bamboo is the key to expand the applications of this extraordinary non-wood forest resource. This study reports on the formation of ZnO-nanostructured network films on the surface of bamboo via a simple two-step process. This process consists of the generation of ZnO seeds on the bamboo surface followed by a solution treatment to promote the crystal growth. The morphology and chemical composition of the ZnO films were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction. Accelerated weathering was used to evaluate the photostability of the treated wood. The antifungal and antibacterial performances were also examined. The results indicate that the approach can simultaneously furnish bamboo with excellent photostability and antifungal and antibacterial performances. The growth mechanism of ZnO-nanostructured network films on the uneven and chemically complicated surface of bamboo was also discussed.

Bamboo is vulnerable to attack by fungi and termites on account of its inherent hygroscopicity and is therefore prone to lose its dimensional stability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
