Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]
, 2012 The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...

Carbon concentration declines with decay class in tropical forest woody debris [PDF]
, 2017 Carbon stored in woody debris is a key carbon pool in forest ecosystems. The most widely-used method to convert woody debris volume to carbon is by first multiplying field-measured volume with wood density to obtain necromass, and then assuming that a ...

Wood Decay Resistance Employing Nanoparticle Protective Systems
International Journal of Conservation Science, 2023 In this paper, nanoparticle dispersions (nanosilver, copper nano oxide, nanozinc, and nanosilica) have been formulated to be used as protective impregnants. Since all the components of the formulations could be charged according to the pH of the medium, the solutions were formulated with the two profiles of pH=3 and pH=8 (pH changes were handled with ...

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.
