Abstract
An objective of the present invention is to provide a lignocellulose material exhibiting superior dimensional stability and having a reduced water-absorbing property, as well as provide a lignocellulose hybrid material, a paper product or a wood product, with superior dimensional stability and a reduced water-absorbing property. In the present invention, a lignocellulose material is treated with a treatment agent for use in a lignocellulose material containing: (A) a polyvalent carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof; and (B) a silicon compound containing a functional group binding to a silicon atom, and thereby, a lignocellulose hybrid material is obtained. In addition, a paper product or a wood product is obtained by using the aforementioned lignocellulose hybrid material.
