Abstract


The study objective was to develop a wood preservative by nano form of Copper oxide, Zinc oxide and Copper sulphate for wood based panel products to make the system with a lesser amount of toxicity. Wood preservatives are products used for the safeguard of wood from deterioration or damage caused by detrimental organisms (for example; fungi, moulds or pests). Nanotechnology presents a notable opportunity to boost the field of wood safeguarding through executing modern and unique metal biocides with enriched properties. Nano form of Copper oxide, Zinc oxide and Copper sulphate were made by mechanical milling in the high energy planetary ball mill with 450 rpm for 12 h. From the results achieved in this study it can be concluded among the three verified preservatives the nano form of the preservatives were well-suited with the glues as compare to their soluble forms. The result also shows the bonding quality of the plywood with satisfactory limit of acceptance.
