Wood durability researchers have long described fungal decay of timber using the starkly
simple terms of white, brown and soft rot, along with the less destructive mold and stain …

Chemically or physically modified wood materials have enhanced resistance to wood decay
fungi. In contrast to treatments with traditional wood preservatives, where the resistance is …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

This book is the updated revision of the German edition “Holz-und Baumpilze” from 1994.
Errors were corrected and new results were included. Particularly the chapter “Identification” …

Wood-degrading brown rot fungi are essential recyclers of plant biomass in forest
ecosystems. Their efficient cellulolytic systems, which have potential biotechnological …

The source of strength in solid wood is the wood fiber. Wood is basically a series of tubular
fibers or cells cemented together. Each fiber wall is composed of various quantities of three …

Abstract Poly (methylmethacrylate)(PMMA) is a widely used material in dental applications,
particularly as denture resins. Due to thermally unstable and wet oral cavity, the implanted …

The subject of this research is growing mycelium-based composites and exploring their
basic material properties. Since the building industry is responsible for a large amount of …

The degradation capabilities of two white rot fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes
versicolor, obtained from natural stands of Fagus orientalis (beech) in Northern Iran were …

Heat treatment increases the decay resistance of wood by decreasing its hygroscopicity, but
the wood material remains degradable by fungi. This study investigated the degradation of …
