abstract

fire-retarding properties of wollastonite nanofibers in poplar wood (populus nigra) were studied here. some physical properties such as water absorption, volumetric swelling and anti-swelling efficiency (ase) were also measured. specimens were prepared according to the iso 11925 specifications for the fire-retarding properties and according to the astm d4446 -2002 specifications for the physical properties. impregnation of wood specimens with nanowollastonite was carried out at consumption levels of 4, 6.3, 10 and 12%, using rueping method (empty-cell process) and compared with the control specimens. five fire-retarding properties were measured, including weight loss (%), ignition point (s), fire endurance (s), glow endurance (s) and carbonization area (%). the obtained results indicated that fire-retarding properties were significantly improved in the nw-treated specimens. furthermore, the nw-impregnated specimens gained higher dimensional stability. however, water absorption increased. heat-conductivity of wollastonite limited accumulation of heat at one spot, furthermore, it acted as a physical barrier to deter heat and mass transfer between the gas and the condensed phase, consequently, fire-retarding properties were improved.

Morphological study of the leaves of two European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) populations in Slovenia

Background and Purpose: Conservation efforts across Europe and a substantial lack of information regarding the present status of black poplar (Populus nigra L.) in Slovenia led us to conduct this research. The objectives were to determine the presence of preserved native black poplar in Slovenia, to evaluate the variation within and between two selected populations, and to evaluate the conditio...

Hydrogen Peroxide Response in Leaves of Poplar (Populus simonii × Populus nigra) Revealed from Physiological and Proteomic Analyses

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is one of the most abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS), which plays dual roles as a toxic byproduct of cell metabolism and a regulatory signal molecule in plant development and stress response. Populus simonii × Populus nigra is an important cultivated forest species with resistance to cold, drought, insect and disease, and also a key model plant for forest genetic e...
