Polyamidoamines (PAAs) are hybrid –organic polymers obtained by the reaction between N,N-methyl-bis-acrylamide (MBA) and Ethanolamine (EtA).
PAAs can be functionalized with siloxane, e.g. aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), through hydrolysis and condensation reaction (sol-gel process),
Reagents: N, N-‐methyl-‐bis-‐acrylamide (MBA) Ethanolamine (EtA) Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Solvent, water: ethanol 30:70 Formulations: Formulation A, MBA : EtA molar ratio 1:1 Formulation B, MBA : APTES molar ratio 1:1 Formulation C, MBA : EtA : APTES, molar ratio 1: 0,5: 0,5
Preparation: The reagents of respective formulations were dissolved in solvent and then maintained under stirring until that the suspension became clear.
The research has been developed on two levels:
1. Mini-block test against fungus C. puteana of different combinations between the 3 reagents.
2. EN 113 test of the most promising formulations against three different fungi, C. puteana, C. versicolor and P. placenta
The research was supported by RENNER spa, Minerbio, Bologna (IT)

The impregnation process was characterized through the determination of Weight Per cent Gain (WPG1) referred to the anhydrous mass of untreated wood: WPG1 = [(Mt– M0)/ M0] x100
M0 =dry mass untreated wood and Mt=dry masses of treated wood
Wood specimens were subjected to the leaching procedure according to EN 84 (1997).
WPG2 = [(Ml– M0)/ M0] x 100
LF ( Leached Formulation) = [(Mt – Ml)/(Mt-‐ M0) x 100
M0 =dry mass untreated wood and Ml =dry masses of treated leached wood
Duration of test : 8 weeks Fungus: C. puteana Mini-‐block test: Kolle flask, in each one 4 treated and 2 reference controls.
Characterization of impregnations and results
Dimension of wood mini-‐blocks: 30 x 10 x 5 mm3
Wood samples dimension: 5 x 1,5 x2,5 cm3
Duration of test : 16 weeks Fungus: C. puteana, P. placenta, T.versicolor EN 113 test: Kolle flask, in each one treated and one reference control.
Characterization of impregnations
Results
• The formulations based on PAAs showed a slight efficacy, with respect to untreated controls, against basidiomycetes fungi, principally when APTES, alone or combined with EtA, was included into formulation.
• The most important factor for the fixation of PAAs to the wood was the functionalization with siloxane and probably the formation of bridges C-‐O-‐Si obtained by the condensation of silanols (Vignali et al., 2011.)
• The hypothetical mechanism of action was the establishment into the impregnated wood of unfavourable conditions for fungal growth due to the high pH value.
