摘要:
We disclose novel metallic nanoparticles coated with a thin protective carbon shell, and three-dimensional nano-metallic sponges; methods of preparation of the nanoparticles; and uses for these novel materials, including wood preservation, strengthening of polymer and fiber/polymer building materials, and catalysis.
摘要:
A wood preservative includes injectable particles comprising one or more sparingly soluble copper salts. The copper-based particles are sufficiently insoluble so as to not be easily removed by leaching but are sufficiently soluble to exhibit toxicity to primary organisms primarily responsible for the decay of the wood. Exemplary particles contain for example copper hydroxide, basic copper carbonate, copper carbonate, basic copper sulfates including particularly tribasic copper sulfate, basic copper nitrates, copper oxychlorides, copper borates, basic copper borates, and mixtures thereof. The particles typically have a size distribution in which at least 50% of particles have a diameter smaller than 0.25 μm, 0.2 μm, or 0.15 μm. At least about 20% and even more than 75% of the weight of the particles may be composed of the substantially crystalline copper salt. Wood or a wood product may be impregnated with copper based particles of the invention.

摘要:
The present invention provides wood preservative compositions comprising micronized particles. In one embodiment, the composition comprises dispersions of micronized metal or metal compounds. In another embodiment, the wood preservative composition comprises an inorganic component comprising a metal or metal compound and organic biocide. When the composition comprises an inorganic component and an organic biocide, the inorganic component or the organic biocide or both are present as micronized particles. When compositions of the present invention are used for preservation of wood, there is minimal leaching of the metal and biocide from the wood.
摘要:
This invention provides a method for preserving wood by treating the wood with a composition comprising a dispersion of colloidal silica or colloidal alumina particles in a solvent and one or more organic biocides.

A wood preservative includes injectable particles comprising one or more sparingly soluble iron salts. The iron-based particles are sufficiently insoluble so as to not be easily removed by leaching but are sufficiently soluble to exhibit toxicity to primary organisms primarily responsible for the decay of the wood. Wood or a wood product may be impregnated with iron-based particles of the invention.
摘要:
A non-flammable composition is formulated to include ceramic powder, graphite, mica and ZrO2. The non-flammable composition is capable of being applied to an external surface of an item, or may be incorporated into the substrate material used to form an item prior to the item's manufacture. The non-flammable composition provides both fire-resistance and fire-retardant properties to the items that are treated thereby.
摘要:
Techniques and products are described for coloring acetylated wood products. An acetylated wood product can be impregnated by a coloring medium within a chamber and the colorant or colorants contained within the coloring medium can be fixed to the acetylated wood product by the application of heat or by application of radio frequency radiation to color any external surface or interior region of the acetylated wood product which has been impregnated by the coloring medium.
摘要:
The invention relates to cation borate present in powder form, with a small grain size and low water solubility. The cation borate present in powder form and a suspension produced therefrom are suitable for example for the treatment of coating materials (such as wood preservatives), in particular fungicidal, biocidal and insecticidal treatment.
摘要:
Described herein are impregnated products comprising: a cellulosic substrate having internal voids; and a reaction product of a composition comprising: water; a hygroscopic polymer; and a solid component; wherein the cellulosic substrate is impregnated with said composition. Methods of making and using the products are also described.
