Improved Dimensional Stability and Mold Resistance of Bamboo via In Situ Growth of Poly(Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate-<i>N</i>-Isopropyl Acrylamide)

Bamboo is a natural and renewable building material but its application has been limited due to the low dimensional stability and poor durability against mold. In this study, monomers of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and <i>N</i>-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) were impregnated in bamboo...
