A ligneous finishing material including a base plate, a sheet formed from a sheet base impregnated with a thermosetting resin and attached to the base plate, and a decorative sheet impregnable with a resin and attached to the sheet. The base plate, sheet and decorative sheet are laminated on each other by a hot-press process. The thermosetting resin is preferably a phenol resin having a fluidity in a pre-pregnated state of 3% to 50%. The ligneous finishing material is inexpensive and highly resistant to surface damaging, and can be used as a surface facing material for floors, etc., and as a facing material for fittings and furnishings.

Ligneous finishing material

A polymer modified with an alkoxysilane is prepared by a reaction forming a bond between an alkoxysilane compound represented by General Formula (I) and at least one of end parts of a conjugated diene/vinylaromatic hydrocarbon copolymer obtained by copolymerization of a conjugated diene and a vinylaromatic hydrocarbon using a lithium compound as an initiator. An adhesive composition contains 3% by weight or more of the polymer modified with an alkoxysilane. The polymer is used for an adhesive composition, can be prepared by a simple process, has excellent adhesive property and durability so that an additive such as a tackifier is not always required, and has essentially enhanced adhesive property to inorganic materials, in particular. The adhesive composition in which the polymer is used has excellent adhesive property and durability. ##STR1##
