AB  - A novel composite composed of lignocellulose (LC), glutaraldehyde crosslinked 
      chitosan (GC) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was fabricated by the 
      hot-pressing process. The effect of the additional GC and MWCNT on the mechanical 
      strength, dimensional stability and fire retardancy of lignocellulose composites 
      was investigated. The results showed that LC/GC/MWCNT composite exhibited the 
      maximum modulus of rupture (MOR) of 35.3 MPa, modulus of elasticity (MOE) of 
      2789.1 MPa and internal bonding (IB) strength of 1.2 MPa. Meanwhile, the 
      LC/GC/MWCNT composite displayed improved dimensional stability with a thickness 
      swelling (TS) value of 22.4%. Besides, the LC/GC/MWCNT composite exhibited 
      improved fire retardancy with a limiting oxygen index of 29.0%. The peak heat 
      release rate, the total heat release, the total smoke production and the maximum 
      smoke production ratio of LC/GC/MWCNT composite decreased by 15.9%, 10.7%, 45.5% 
      and 20.7% compared with those of LC composite, respectively. Therefore, the 
      LC/GC/MWCNT composite may be a promising candidate for green wood based 
      composites.
