Copper complexes grafted to amino-functionalized silica gel as wood preservatives against fungal decay: Mini-blocks and standard test

Previous preliminary studies showed good efficacy of treatments based on a mixture of siloxane materials, functionalized with amino groups and coupled with copper, against the brown rot fungus Coniophora puteana (Palanti et al. 2011). In the present work, a one-step impregnation was performed on two...
