A reverse chemical ecology approach to explore wood natural durability [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2020 Summary The natural durability of wood species, defined as their inherent resistance to wood‐destroying agents, is a complex phenomenon depending on many biotic and abiotic factors. Besides the presence of recalcitrant polymers, the presence of compounds

A natural flavonoid treatment of wood: artificial weathering and decay resistance
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2020 In this study, a natural flavonoid, chrysin, was used as a wood impregnation agent and evaluated in terms of artificial weathering and decay resistance of wood. For this purpose, Scots pine samples were impregnated with chrysin after tosylation pre-treatment and, then, exposed to artificial weathering for 672 h.

Effect of Natural Aging on Oak Wood Fire Resistance [PDF]
Polymers, 2021 The paper deals with the assessment of the age of oak wood (0, 10, 40, 80 and 120 years) on its fire resistance. Chemical composition of wood (extractives, cellulose, holocellulose, lignin) was determined by wet chemistry methods and elementary analysis was performed according to ISO standards. From the fire-technical properties, the flame ignition and
