Abstract: In an embodiment, the present disclosure pertains to a method of coating a substrate to impart antiviral and water resistance to the substrate. In general, the method includes obtaining a substrate and applying a coating composition to the substrate. In some embodiments, the coating composition imparts antiviral and water resistance properties to the substrate. In some embodiments, the coating composition has an antiviral method of action against a virus by causing damage to at least one of a capsid of the virus, an outer envelope of a protein layer of the virus, a spike protein of the virus, a cellular membrane of the virus, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The new methods for treating green wood discuss herein speed up air drying of common green wood, including both softwood and hardwood. This method involves treating and altering the green wood with a base solution, and subjecting the wood to an air drying process. The new methods require less time to dry the green wood to a desired water content. In addition, other additives may be included in the base solution such as miscibility solvent(s), preservative(s), solubilizer(s)/stabilizer(s), chelating agent(s), bonding agent(s), pigment(s), UV protective, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and/or anti-insect chemical(s). The base solution solution may also slow down the wood deterioration caused by physical, chemical and biological sources under ambient conditions.
