Abstract The overall aim of this study was to investigate the durability acetylated beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) laminated veneer lumber (LVL) against wood-destroying basidiomycetes. secondary objective test whether specimen size affects mass loss and assessment wood-material under test. based on pre-standard prEN 113-3. Six materials (acetylated LVL, untreated solid wood, pine sapwood Pinus syl...

Short rotation teak wood has low quality especially in dimensional stability and durability. Furfurylation treatment was applied to improve technological properties of the short wood. The purpose study durability through furfurylation treatment. sapwoods (Plus Perhutani Biotrop teaks) were treated impregnation process 45% furfuryl alcohol (FA) 5% tartaric acid as catalyst followed by heated ove...

The present research aimed to assess the moisture properties and viscoelastic behaviour of artificially degraded pine wood, intended serve as a model material for ongoing studies on new conservation treatments waterlogged archaeological wood. Sorption isotherms hydroxyl accessibility were measured using Dynamic Vapour (DVS) system, while investigation selected wood rheological was performed Mec...

Previously undescribed structures found in Coniophora cerebella are described. They appear like spherical bodies, about 0.5 mum in diameter, situated along the wall and septa of the hyphae. They are not membrane bound and seem to be composed of ribosomes.
