WoodWisdom-Net March 2014 sustainable treatments (BioCoPol) Start: 2014 Duration: 36 months Total budget: € 730,000 Project Coordinator: Dr. Marion Noël %HUQ8QLYHUVLW\RI$SSOLHG6FLHQFHV²$UFKLWHFWXUH Wood and Civil Engineering [email protected] Project Partners: Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, [email protected], [email protected] LERMAB Laboratoire d’études et de recherche sur le matériau bois, [email protected], [email protected] CIRAD, [email protected], [email protected] Bern University of Applied Sciences, [email protected], [email protected] Pongauer Jägerzaun, [email protected] Corbat Holding SA, [email protected] Webpage: Not yet available Abstract: The project is dedicated to the development of new bio-based formulations for wood treatment, with focus on several main market applications: railway wood sleepers, facade wooden pieces, outdoor furniture as well as internal structures, to promote the use of indigenous species, like beech and pine, not enough exploited mainly because of their limited durability. The idea is based on the combination of former research projects separately conducted in partners’ labs, which led to promising wood preservation technologies considering the complementary properties of the homo-polymers: i) elasticity and polarity of lactic acid oligomers, ii) biocidal effect of tannins and polyglycerols iii) networking and surface properties improvement of FDCA. Co-polymerization of those compounds is expected to provide excellent properWLHVWRZRRGE\EHQHÀWLQJIURPDFWXDO properties of each separated treatment. 0RGLÀHGZRRGYVQDWXUDOZRRGDJDLQVW fungal attack. –5– Long term outdoor exposure effect on shingles.
