Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure describes a treated cellulosic material comprising a cellulosic material having a porous structure defining a plurality of pores, at least a portion of the pores containing a treating agent comprising a polymer, the polymer comprising a polyurethane polymer. The present disclosure further describes a method for preparing a treated cellulosic material comprising providing a cellulosic material; and a first treatment protocol comprising impregnating the cellulosic material with an aqueous dispersion comprising a polymer, the polymer comprising a polyurethane polymer; and a second treatment protocol comprising impregnating the cellulosic material with a modifying agent, the modifying agent comprising a hydrophobic amine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a treated cellulosic material comprising: (a) providing a cellulosic material; and (b) a first treatment protocol comprising impregnating the cellulosic material with an aqueous dispersion comprising a polymer, the polymer comprising a polyurethane polymer; and (c) a second treatment protocol comprising impregnating the cellulosic material with a modifying agent, the modifying agent comprising a hydrophobic amine. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the impregnating of the first and second treatment protocols is conducted under pressure greater than or lower than ambient. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane polymer comprises a water-dispersible polyurethane. 4. The treated cellulosic material of claim 2 , wherein the water-dispersible polyurethane comprises the acidic or anionic form of dimethylolpropionic acid. 5. The treated cellulosic material of claim 3 , wherein the water-dispersible polyurethane comprises a thermosplastic polyurethane or a thermosetting polyurethane.
