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.

Effect of thermal modification in the natural resistance of Eucalyptus grandis and Pinus taeda woods

Revista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
The aim of the study was to evaluate the natural durability of wood submitted to heat treatments and exposed in a field environment. Were used Eucalyptus grandis and Pinus taeda species, being selected five trees selected for each species studied, which were unfolded, dried in a conventional drying kiln, and later submitted to the heat treatments using

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Variability in The Natural Termite Resistance of Plantation Teak Wood and its Relations With Wood Extractive Content and Color Properties

Indonesian Journal of Forestry Research, 2011
Property of natural termite resistance of teak ( T ec tona g r an d i s ) wood signifies one of its most important characteristics. With the purpose of understanding the variation in such resistance, four teak trees in the form of trunk (stem) from Randublatung , Central Java were randomly selected, and each wood portion sampled in radial and

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Deciphering the Photopolymerization‐Induced Nanostructures and Interface Formation for Submicrometer Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reveals the UV‐curing‐induced monomer‐rich domain, oligomer‐rich domain, and entangled oligomer domain. The cured submicron films in stressed state induce interlayer nano‐wrinkle structures during the deposition of the second layer. Stress‐free cured films in relaxed state form non‐diffusive, diffusive and semi‐diffusive interlayer ...

Phytochemical investigation from wood residues of Dalbergia spruceana Benth [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
Dalbergia spruceana Benth (Fabaceae: Papilionoideae), known in the Brazilian Amazon as ¨jacarandá-do-pará” recognized for the natural resistance of its wood has little scientific information about its secondary metabolism.
