Weatherability and Leach Resistance of Wood Impregnated with Nano-Zinc Oxide
Abstract Southern pine specimens vacuum-treated with nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) dispersions were evaluated for leach resistance and UV protection.Virtually, no leaching occurred in any of the nano-ZnO–treated specimens in a laboratory leach test, GD001 even at the highest retention of 13 kg/m3.However, specimens treated with high concentratio
