Utilization of temperature kinetics as a method to predict treatment intensity and corresponding treated wood quality : durability and mechanical properties of thermally modified wood [PDF]
, 2014 Wood heat treatment is an attractive alternative to improve decay resistance of wood species with low natural durability. However, this improvement of durability is realized at the expense of the mechanical resistance.

Penetration and effectiveness of micronized copper in refractory wood species [PDF]
, 2016 The North American wood decking market mostly relies on easily treatable Southern yellow pine (SYP), which is being impregnated with micronized copper (MC) wood preservatives since 2006. These formulations are composed of copper (Cu) carbonate particles (

Beech wood treated with polyglycerol succinate: a new effective method for its protection and stabilization [PDF]
, 2020 This paper deals with an original and non-biocidal chemical treatment consisting of a vacuum/pressure impregnation step of beech wood with a water-borne mixture made from heat-activated condensation of succinic anhydride (SA) and glycerol (G).

Effect of Trichoderma-enriched organic charcoal in the integrated wood protection strategy.
PLoS ONE, 2017 The gradual elimination of chromium from wood preservative formulations results in higher Cu leaching and increased susceptibility to wood decay fungi. Finding a sustainable strategy in wood protection has become of great interest among researchers.

Nanostructural Changes Correlated to Decay Resistance of Chemically Modified Wood Fibers
Fibers, 2022 Reactive chemical modifications have been shown to impart decay resistance to wood. These modifications change hydroxyl availability, water uptake, surface energy, and the nanostructure of wood.
