Development of an Accelerated Method for Assessing Decay of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC's)

Creator:

Silva Guzman, Jose Antonio

Abstract:

This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...

The effects of supercritical CO₂ on the bending properties and treatment defects of four refractory wood species

It is difficult to treat the heartwood of many wood species with liquid preservatives using conventional liquid processes. Supercritical fluids (SCF) used as carriers of preservatives to impregnate refractory wood species may be an attractive alternative to conventional liquid carriers. While SCF impregnation has many potential advantages, some wood species...
