Abstract

The materials for drug store need be antimicrobial. However, Vitex negundo was easy to go mouldy. Therefore, Vitex negundo wood was pretreated by PF and made composite by hot pressing, the antimicrobial properties of wood/PF bio composites was analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS). The results showed that Vitex negundo wood/PF bio composites contained much phenol and little formaldehyde, suggesting that wood/PF bio composites could inhibit mold growth. And the wood/PF bio composites could safely be used for drug store.
