Abstract
Natural environmental preservatives are widely used in wooden building materials due to their low toxicity, renewable, and degradable properties. Inspired by the long-lasting durability of Tibetan paper, we propose for the first time to fill the pores of wood materials with the extract of Stellera chamaejasme root to improve their fungal resistance. The extract not only inhibits the secretion of lignin degrading enzymes by fungi but also inhibits the growth of fungal hyphae. Therefore, the growth inhibition rates of wood rot and mold fungi both reach 100% when the concentration of the extract is higher than 0.75%. The composite wood treated with Stellera chamaejasme extract has good fungal resistance. The mass loss rate of composite wood is only 5.26% at 22 °C for 12 weeks during a relative humidity (RH) of 75%, which is 49.34% lower than that of the blank sample. Excellent fungal resistance and easy-to-industrial modification method are beneficial for the further commercialization of wood building materials.
Graphical abstract
Extract of Stellera chamaejasme root can significantly improve the wood’s ability to resist decay and mold.
期刊介绍：
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
