Synthesis and Characterization of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Wood Protection Application

Wood is an indispensable tool for human due to its aesthetic value, its properties and availability functions. However, wood will be degraded by microbes or termites. There were many studies for wood protection in the aspect of termite resistance, decay resistance, antibacterial, antifungal and chem...
