Evaluation of anti-mold, termite resistance and physical-mechanical properties of bamboo cross-linking modified by polycarboxylic acids

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
Bamboo strips can be made into large-scale bamboo-based materials for construction and engineering materials, but the susceptibility of bamboo to degradation associated with moisture and microorganism attack greatly restricts its applications.

Decay, insect, and termite resistance of wood modified with epoxidized vegetable oils

open access: yesHolzforschung, 2020
Samples of Scots pine sapwood were treated with epoxidized linseed and soybean oils to improve decay, insect and termite resistance of wood. Non-epoxidized (raw) linseed and soybean oils were included as reference treatment in the study.

Improved termite resistance of wood by wax impregnation

open access: yesInternational Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2010
[EN] We investigated the effect of wax-treated and biocide-free wood specimens against three different termite species. A laboratory no-choice test with Reticulitermes banyulensis Clement was carried out in Valencia (Spain) under Mediterranean conditions for eight weeks.

Termites promote resistance of decomposition to spatiotemporal variability in rainfall [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2017
AbstractThe ecological impact of rapid environmental change will depend on the resistance of key ecosystems processes, which may be promoted by species that exert strong control over local environmental conditions. Recent theoretical work suggests that macrodetritivores increase the resistance of African savanna ecosystems to changing climatic ...

Termite-resistant heartwood. Effect of antioxidants on termite feeding deterrence and mortality

Holzforschung, 2010
Abstract Biocides currently employed to prevent termite damage face environmental and toxicity concerns. We recently proposed that heartwood which is naturally resistant to termites might be due to the extractives having both toxicity and antioxidant properties and we reported that the artificial and benign antioxidant butylated ...
