The present studies were conducted on effect of plant extracts on Trametes versicolor (White rot) fungal colonization and inhibition of treated and untreated wood of Pinus roxburghii Sargent. The data on colonization and fungal inhibition were noticed significant variation. Among the concentrations, maximum value for fungal colonization treated wood samples with extract was noticed in the (100%...

Thermo-mechanical densification modifies wood to produce a more dense and resistant lignocellulosic material may degrade extractives that contribute the increased susceptibility of attack by xylophagous organisms. This study evaluated efficiency tannin extracts Acacia mearnsii in treatment thermo-mechanical densified pine relation physical, mechanical, biological resistance (Cryptotermes brevis...

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ)and micronized copper quaternary (MCQ)treated wood fibers were manufactured through injection molding. The mechanical properties, water absorption, and biological resistance properties of the fabricated composites with different coupling treatments were investigated. Composites with ACQand MCQ-treated wood ha...

Studies of the amidase activity ofextracts of various animal tissues have been reported in earlier papers (Bray, James, Ryman & Thorpe, 1948; Bray, James, Raffan, Ryman & Thorpe, 1949a; Bray, Thorpe & Wood, 1949c; Bray, James, Thorpe, Wasdell & Wood, 1949 b). The present paper records further observations, including the behaviour of the enzyme towards some saturated long-chain and w-phenylsubst...
