Sažetak
Wood is one of the most abundant and accessible renewable resources available to men. All the main chemical wood components are high-weight-molecular polymers and form an interwoven network in the wood cell wall ; consequently we can say that the wood is a natural polymer with polyphenolic character. With growing emphasis on sustainable development, new methods involving alternative wood use are being explored. Great efforts are directed to new technology development for achieving effective wood utilization, and obtaining ecologically acceptable materials on their base. Particularly interesting is application of wood as a feedstock for producing polymers that could replace a part of the conventional fossil oil based plastics. Wood liquefaction is novel method, and its aim is to convert wood material in biodegradable polymer materials and increase percentage of wood utilization. Maximum attention attracted wood liquefaction in presence of some organic reagents and the most interesting are two methods. The first one is the preparation in presence of phenol, which resulted in liquefaction products rich with phenol units. The second liquefaction method was achieved in presence of polyhydric alcohols. Therefore, a overview of previous researches related to wood liquefaction and its potential application in the wood industry was made in this paper.
