目前纳米技术在木材科学中的应用主要是木材—纳米复合材。在介绍气凝胶材料的性质及其应用的基础上,重点从树木天然生物结构出发,对木材细胞壁的微观构造、所含凝胶物质及木材的智能效应等进行分析,并将木材的结构和物理性质与气凝胶材料进行对比,提出了气凝胶型木材的概念。
The application of nano technology to wood science is mainly concentrated on wood-nano inorganic composites. The properties and utilization of aerogel materials are briefly introduced in this paper. The microstructure of wood cell wall, gel materials in wood cell wall and the intelligent effect of wood are briefly analyzed in terms of natural biological structure of wood. The structure and physical properties of wood are contrasted with those of aerogel materials. Thereby a concept of aerogel-type wood is given.
