Estimating the probability of P–H bonds breaking in a modified biocomposite after exposure to a pulsed magnetic field

Resumo

For the successful compaction wood, we miust convert its amorphous component (lignin) from a glassy to a highly elastic state by treating it with, e.g., ammonia. This plasticization of lignin results in the formation of compounds containing bi-coordination phosphorus, increasing its hydrophobicity due to the formation of P–H bonds. In this work, the problem of reducing the number of such bonds after treatment with a pulsed magnetic field is discussed, using the results from studying the IR spectra of modified wood samples.
