Abstract :In this study, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) wood samples were impregnated with nano-sized MgO, ZnO, TiO2 and SiO2 to determine the effects of nano particles on the some psychical and biological properties of pine wood. Moisture absorption rate and fungal decay test were performed after full- cell impregnation process. The results have demonstrated that all four nanoparticles used in the experiment (MgO, ZnO, TiO2, SiO2) can be used as impregnation materials in compliance with European standards. Particularly, SiO2 has exhibited high performance in increasing the antifungal properties of pine wood.
