Coatings can be used as a preservative method to protect the wood, especially wood surface. The different component of coating’s dependence purpose it. Japanese beech (Fagus crenata Blume) applied by several commercials coating materials. coatings application were spray type and brush type. X-ray microtomography in Fuji, Japan was for visualized samples. target Cu, Mo with Al filter. image anal...

Potential exposure to pesticide residues resulting from burning wood treated with phenoxy and pyridine herbicides was assessed. Wood samples from trees treated with 2,4-D [2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid], dicamba [3,6-dichloro-oanisic acid], dichlorprop [2-(2,4-dichlorphenoxy) propionic acid], picloram [4-amino-3,5,dtrichloropicolinic acid], and triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyri dinyl)oxy acet...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rosin upon fixing boron in Styrax tonkinensis (Piere) wood treated with mixtures of 3% boric acid and 1% rosin sizing agent. After treatment, wood samples were also analyzed by scanning electron microscope observation and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results showed that all boron-rosin formulations impregnated Styrax ton...

Properties of heat-treated wood have been studied extensively in recent years. However, study on wood that has been treated in pressurized steam is limited, as most wood heat treatments are carried out in atmospheric steam. The main purpose of this study was to explore the influence of steam pressure on chemical changes of heat-treated wood. Wet chemical analysis, elemental analysis, and FTIR a...
