The molecule, in fact, is reactive and during reticulation is able to generate covalent bonds with the wooden support. However, surfaces treated with ELO show limited hydrophobicity and a contact angle of less than 90 degrees. This could be because hydroxyl and carbonyl polar groups are generated that increase surface affinity with water. In recent years, therefore, the focus has been on finding ways to improve the aspects of this biopolymer, in order to expand its uses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Methodology” tab_id=”1585137171476-cf427d63-2fbf093e-a1f2ea1f-2951″][vc_column_text]A strategy proposed by researchers in the group led by Prof. Wang Wang of the MOE Key Laboratory of Wooden Material Science and Application, forestry University in Beijing (China) is to improve the limiting characteristics of OLE by blending with apolar organic substances in water emulsions at nanoscale dimensions. The apolar organic substance chosen to improve water barrier properties is carnauba wax of natural origin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_images_carousel images=”3443,3445,3444″ img_size=”full” autoplay=”yes” wrap=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2901″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”left-to-right” link=”https:\/\/bormawachs.com\/”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
