Physico-Mechanical Properties Of Plywood Bonded By Nano Cupric Oxide (Cuo) Modified Pf Resins Against Subterranean Termites

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2015
Nano CuO and alkane surfactant modified phenol Formaldehyde (PF) resins were applied to manufacture plywood, and physical and mechanical properties, such as shear strength, tensile property, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), as well ...

Evaluation of Naturally Grown Termite Resistant Tropical Wood Species

Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology
Selecting termite resistant wood species for household and construction purposes can guarantee their durability and reduce the pressure on forest resources. The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of selected tropical wood species to termite attacks in a natural environment.

The role of particle size of particulate nano-zinc oxide wood preservatives on termite mortality and leach resistance

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2011
Historically most residential wood preservatives were aqueous soluble metal formulations, but recently metals ground to submicron size and dispersed in water to give particulate formulations have gained importance.

Improvement of the durability of heat-treated wood against termites

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2017
Thermal modification is an attractive alternative to improve the decay durability and dimensional stability of wood. However, thermally modified wood is generally not resistant to termite attacks, limiting the field of application of such materials.
