Effect of Essential Oils on the Mechanical Properties of Lignocellulosic Materials

Abstract

The aim of this work is to prevent the degradation marches can never be completely successful.Destructive processes in the long term, we can only slow down and prevent at some point in time material destruction. Nature always seeks the lowest state of entropy and organized state of the cellulose chain is definitely not the lowest entropy state. On planar lignocellulose material act the effects of mechanical, chemical and microbial factors. In this paper outlines the impact of essential oils on cellulosic materials. Microbial effect of these substances is proved and it is now up to us find the ideal concentrations that will not degrade the substrate and is high enough to destroy live spores of mould and fungi.
