Potential for Using Boron Compounds with Differing Water Solubilities in Pastes for Remedial Treatment of Utility Poles

Creator:

Uysal, Selim

Abstract:

Boron and boron compounds have been long used for pressure treatment, dip-diffusion, and remedial treatments of wood because of their proven efficacy against fungi and insects. These materials are especially attractive because their high water solubility promotes deeper penetration into wood. Other useful properties of boron include its neutral pH,...

degree of Master of Science in Wood Science presented on June 10, 2016. Title: Potential for Using
Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:

Elkins, Lori A.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

Pressure measurement in wood as a method to understand impregnation processes : conventional and supercritical carbon dioxide

Creator:

Schneider, Philip F.

Abstract:

Two approaches to improving wood treatability include the modification of pressure schedules during conventional liquid treatments and the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs). In both of these techniques, pressure differences are important for transporting materials into wood. The level of pressure and its change during SCF treatments are also important...
