Studies on thermal degradation and termite resistant properties of chemically modified wood

Bioresource Technology, 2002
A series of experiments were carried out to examine the resistant capacity of a chemically treated hard wood, Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb) Miq. to thermal and termite degradation. The treatment with thermosetting resins viz. urea formaldehyde (UF), melamine formaldehyde (MF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) at 31-33 levels of weight percent gain (WPG ...

Leachability and termite resistance of wood treated with a new preservative: ammonium borate oleate

Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff, 2007
Synthesis of a new chemical compound combining water-repellence of oleic acid and biocidal effect of boric acid linked by ammonia have been followed and validated by fourier transformed infra red (FTIR). This compound named ammonium borate oleate (ABO) has then been studied as a wood preservative. Different molar ratios of oleic acid have been involved

Combating Klebsiella pneumoniae Antibiotic Resistance with Termicin: A Peptide Antibiotic from Termite Gut

Health Science Research International
The growing menace of antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae has undermined treatment effectiveness, demanding novel approaches. Termicin, a termite gut-derived peptide antibiotic, exhibits potent activity against K.

Are larger termite mounds more resistant to fire? A study of two southern African termites (Isoptera: Termitidae)

Austral Entomology
AbstractTermites are resistant to fire, a common disturbance in the world's savannas, but most explanations for how termites resist fire are speculative. Some researchers have suggested that the mounds of some termite species can serve as a structural defence against direct fire mortality.
