Research | Findings | References |
|---|---|---|
Study the effect of moisture content (0% and 25%) on the TiO2 nanoparticles retention and distribution in cottonwood | Better impregnation and uniform distribution of TiO2 in cottonwood was observed for the 0% moisture content sample compared than the 25% | [227] |
Developed TiO2-Oligoaldaramide core–shell as efficient water soluble compounds systems for wood preservation | Wood treated with TiO2-Oligoaldaramine shows a good efficacy against attack by Trametes versicolor | [225] |
Study the antifungal properties of TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles in polyvinyl butyral | Treatment with combination of 2% TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles in 5% polyvinyl butyral provided antifungal effects against Trametes versicolor | [228] |
Study the UV resistant property of wood treated with zinc oxide (ZnO), cerium oxide (CeO2) and titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. All nanoparticles were dispersed in propylene glycol (PPG) | The nanoparticles restricted lignin degradation by UV radiation. Increasing the concentration of nanoparticles from 1 to 2.5% significantly enhanced UV resistance | [229] |
