Novel inorganic–organic hybrid copolymers based on vinyl- or (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane and an organically modified zirconium-oxocluster were investigated as a wood preservation treatment. The copolymers were prepared using a modified sol-gel strategy not involving alkoxysilane pre-hydrolysis and were applied on wood through a dip coating method. Even though the copolymers were mainly present on the surface of the wood, EDX analysis showed also a uniform distribution of silicon and zirconium in the cell wall but not in the lumina. The grafting of the copolymers on wood was confirmed through FTIR, 13C and 29Si MAS NMR analysis. The copolymer obtained from (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane was post-functionalized with the methacrylic ester of thymol; introduced for testing as a biocide. Preliminary accelerated biological tests against the brown rot fungus Coniophora puteana, showed resistance to the fungus for the samples coated with the vinyltrimethoxysilane copolymer, while uneven results were obtained for the samples coated with the (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane copolymer, even when functionalized with the ester of thymol.
