Abstract
In this work, the biological resistance of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood impregnated with nano-sized zinc oxide and zinc borate against the fungi Daedalea quercina, Poria placenta and Serpula lacrymans was evaluated. It can be concluded that nano-sized zinc oxide inhibited the biological degradation of pine wood against Serpula lacrymans, while it was ineffective against the brown-rot fungus Poria placenta. Pine wood treated with nano-sized zinc borate exhibited higher biological resistance against the fungi Serpula lacrymans and Poria placenta.
