This document is a bibliography of reports, proceedings, and technical papers reporting work on the microbiological deterioration of wood and wood products primarily in tropical environments. Included are the principal types of wood used in packaging applications and the types of diseases most often encountered. Treatments, such as preservatives, coatings, fungicides, etc., are also covered.
In recent years considerable progress has been made in elucidating wood decay mechanisms. This basic knowledge not only has the potential to develop alternative environmentally-benign wood preservatives, but may also impact other areas such as bioremediation and pulp and paper. This book will summarize the latest knowledge of the developments, potential impacts, and applications from some of the world's leading experts.
Wood Deterioration, Protection and Maintenance provides an up to date discussion of the natural durability of wood, wood degradation processes, and methods of structural and chemical protection of wood. Modern active substances in wood preservatives and the relationships between preservative properties, the anatomical structure and moisture content of wood and protective processes involving pressure and/or diffusion driving forces are fully illustrated.
