A phenylene ether oligomer composition is disclosed comprising, a phenylene ether oligomer having an external amine content of less than or equal to 1.5 weight percent; and a residual solvent in an amount of 10 to 10000 parts per million by weight, based on the weight of the phenylene ether oligomer composition; wherein the phenylene ether oligomer composition has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.03 to 0.13 deciliter per gram; a glass transition temperature of 135 to 175 C., or a combination thereof.

The present invention relates to a polymerizable solution for impregnating wood, a method for impregnating wood with said solution and impregnated wood impregnated with said solution.

The polymerizable solution comprises: furfuryl alcohol in the range from 25 to 75 weight % based on the total weight of the solution, carboxylic acid in the range from 0.01 to 0.15 mol/kg based on the total weight of the solution, maleic anhydride in the range from 0.25 to 4 weight % based on the total weight of the solution, condensate from a previous curing process of wood in the range from 24 to 74 weight % based on the total weight of the solution, and an amount of water-soluble alkali salt to obtain a pH in the range from 3 to 5 at the time point when the solution is made.
