Improving the durability of second growth timbers of naturally durable species

Creator:

Cabrera Orozco, Yohanna

Abstract:

While the heartwood of many wood species exhibits excellent resistance to fungal and insect attack, this resistance is sometimes diminished in second-growth material of the same species. The reasons for the reduced durability are unclear, but they may reflect a combination of both higher proportions of sapwood as well as...

Effects of biocide treatment on durability and fungal colonization of teak, western redcedar, and redwood

Creator:

Cabrera Orozco, Yohanna

Abstract:

Treating durable, second-growth or plantation-grown material with supplemental chemicals could improve durability while enhancing the uniformity of the products. To test this hypothesis, the effect of two candidate biocide treatments on the durability of teak, redwood, and western redcedar was assessed in a ground proximity field test established in Hawaii....

Spalting Fungi : Genetic Identification, Material Interactions and Microscopical Characteristics of Extracted Pigments

Creator:

Vega Gutiérrez, Sarath Mercedes

Abstract:

Spalting fungi show strong potential as natural colorants on a variety of materials, specifically textiles and wood. Four species of spalting fungi are currently utilized in this manner: Scytalidium cuboideum, which produces a red pigment called draconin red, Scytalidium ganodermophthorum, that produces an unknown yellow pigment, and Chlorociboria aeruginosa and...
