METHOD FOR PRODUCING DENSIFIED CELLULOSIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL

The present invention provides a method for obtaining densified material comprising the steps of a. providing lignocellulosic material， b. delignification of the lignocellulosic material providing a delignified material， wherein the delignification step is performed in such a way that the lignin of the lignocellulosic material is almost completely removed and wherein the structural integrity of the lignocellulosic material is maintained in the delignified material， c. densification of the delignified material providing a densified material. Furthermore， a densified material is provided. The fibers and fibrils are maintained in the structural directionality of the raw material and that the cellulosic material is whitish.
