Furthermore, the process of preparing nanowood is discussed, and wood-inorganic nanocom-posites may be operated in three ways with wood (matrix) and inorganic filler phase in 0-2, 0-3 or 2-3 dimensions respectively. The following results are obtained: (1) The nanoscale voids in wood indicate that wood has inherent space to accommodate nanosized materials, such as nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanosticks; (2) According to the size from top down, the nano structure units in wood can be classified as: nanolayers, nano CMF (cellulose microfibril) and matrix, nano crystallite units and cellulose chain clusters, and these can theoretically form nanowood; (3) The preparation of wood-inorganic nanocomposites can be operated on 0-2, 0-3 or 2-3 dimensions.展开更多
