Effects Of Nano-Clay On Biological Resistance Of Wood-Plastic Composite Against Five Wood-Deteriorating Fungi

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2015
Effects of nano-clay on weight loss of wood-plastic composites (WPC) by five fungi were studied. Nanoclay particles of 20 to 50 nm size were applied at 2, 4, and 6% WPC of 0,90 g/cm3 density. The white-rot fungi Physisporinus vitreus, Pleurotus ostreatus

EFFICACY OF TANNIN IN FIXING BORON IN WOOD:

BioResources, 2012
The easy leaching of boron from wood preservation formulations has limited the use of this highly active fungicide. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to be retained for longer periods of time within wood and consequently to ...
