The aim of the present study is to subject Pinus elliottii wood specimens TiO2-based modification in order make them resistant water and UV radiation. microwave-assisted solvothermal method, which little reported literature, was here use for this purpose. adopted methodology led a 1 % mass gain; although it low value, enough fully coat surface with nanoparticles extent changing its characterist...

The main goal of this study was to verify the best combination density, moisture content, and feed speed on surface quality Pinus elliottii boards aimed at deck manufacturing. secondary compare three methods assessment. Tangential were sampled sorted by density (level 1: 414 kg·m–³ 525 kg·m–³; level 2: 526 668 kg·m–³) content 13.5% 17.5%; 17.6% 20.0%). A four-side planer molder used, levels (15...

Background and Objectives: The stable stand structure of mixed plantations is the basis giving full play to forest ecological function benefit. However, monocultural Eucalyptus with large-scale successive planting that caused problems such as reduced species diversity loss soil nutrients have presented be unstable vulnerable, especially in typhoon-prone areas. objective this study was evaluate ...
