Natural Resistance of Wood to Microbial Deterioration
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1966(48). In herbaceous plants, it usually is a post-mortem or post harvest problem that has inspired comparatively little interest among general plant pathologists. In forest pathology, however, tissue disinte gration is a primary mode of pathogenesis. The perennial habit of tree growth and man's use of wood, where many years or even decades of service ...

Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 2006
AbstractNatural resistance of nine Malaysian woods to Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) a subterranean termite has been discussed. Wood species included are keledang, kelat, kempas, rengas, perah mempening, jati, kembang semangkok and kedondong. Of these, teak proved most resistant to termite attack. Keledang, rengas, kempas

International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate survival and wood consumption of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, on ten different species of wood used as commercial lumber. Six of the wood species had natural resistance to termites and caused an average of >75% mortality.

ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 2018
The paper describes new epoxy derivatives and their influences on wood thermal and fungi stability. Epoxy derivatives were thermally and photochemically cross-linked. The softwood samples, modified with succinic anhydride, were impregnated individually or in the mixture with glycidyl methacrylate, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, and epoxidized ...

Evaluation of Naturally Termite Resistant Tropical Wood Species
2022Selecting termite resistant wood species for household and construction facilities can increase their durability and reduce the pressure on forest resources. For the purpose of this evaluation, 100 wood specimens were cut to 20 cm in length, 2.5 cm in thickness, and 5 cm in width and were placed in an open field.

Natural Decay Resistance of Wood
1975This part of the Symposium was originally intended to deal with the decay process in resistant wood, as distinct from susceptible wood, but very little work has been done in this field. The present paper deals with the wider field of natural decay resistance. The topic has been comprehensively reviewed by Scheffer and Cowling (1966) and by Kumar (1971).

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 2019
The present work reports the inclusion of different proportions of Mango/Sheesham/Mahogany/Babool dust to polypropylene for improving mechanical, wear behavior and biodegradability of wood-plastic composite (WPC). The wood dust (10%, 15%, 20% by weight) was mixed with polypropylene granules and WPCs were prepared using an injection molding technique ...

Abstract This study set out to determine whether wood surface hardness plays a role in determining the resistance to Limnoria attack. The feeding rates of the wood-boring crustacean Limnoria quadripunctata on matchstick-sized samples of a range of timbers were assessed by measuring the production of faecal pellets under forced feeding conditions ...
