Bacteria Cellulose and Resin Stabilization in Densified Veneer

Cellulose produced by fermentation of acetic acid bacteria has high tensile strength. Meanwhile, cellulose derived from wood, which is abundant in nature, a limit In this work, delignified wood veneer was immersed Acetobacter xylinum culture medium to self-assemble bacterial into pores. Then the process continued with heating press. It makes material denser and causes hydrogen bonds form between fibers. This study observed densified hybrid for period impregnation resin stabilization strength dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The had maximum after 7 days fermentation. DMA test showed that stabilized good ability store cyclic energy damping factor increases temperature.
