Preparation of Silver Antibacterial Agents with Different Forms and Their Effects on the Properties of Water-Based Primer on Tilia europaea Surface

Xiaoxing Yan et al.

Summary: The study concluded that a 4.0% content of antibacterial agent in the water-based primer on Tilia europaea surface showed better performance in terms of color difference, impact resistance, adhesion, and gloss. Additionally, when the antibacterial agent content increased to 16.0%, the antibacterial properties of the three coatings significantly improved to 94.89%, 81.75%, and 83.98% respectively.

The Effect of Antibacterial and Waterproof Coating Prepared From Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane and Nano-Titanium Dioxide on Wood Properties

Lechen Yang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a method of using hexadecyltrimethoxysilane and nano-titanium dioxide to prepare antibacterial and waterproof coating and apply it to wood surfaces. The wood coated with this antibacterial waterproof coating has excellent antibacterial properties (antibacterial rate as high as 99%) and waterproof properties, without causing a major change in the color of the wood, while increasing the tensile strength and hardness to a certain extent. These properties provide a new idea for the preparation of wood coatings.
