AbstractWood decay is an economically significant process, as it is one of the major causes of wood deterioration in buildings. In this study, the decay process of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) samples caused by cellar fungus (Coniophora puteana) was followed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods. Altogether, 30 wood sample pieces were exposed to fungus for 10 weeks. Based on the decrease of the dry mass, the samples were categorized into three classes: decomposed (mass decrease 50–70%), slightly decomposed (10–50%), and nondecomposed (<10%). MRI made it possible to identify the active regions of fungus inside the wood samples based on the signal of free water brought by the fungus and arisen from the decomposition of wood carbohydrates. MRI implies that free water is not only created by the decay process, but fungal hyphae also transports a significant amount of water into the sample. Two-dimensional 1H T1-T2 relaxation correlation NMR measurements provided detailed information about the changes in the microstructure of wood due to fungal decomposition. Overall, this study paves the way for noninvasive NMR and MRI detection of fungal decay at early stages as well as the related structural changes.

Nonaqueous dispersions of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles, sterically stabilized with polyisobutylene (PIB), were prepared with naphthalene (N) groups covalently incorporated into the PMMA chains. These materials have a complex morphology of phase-separated PMMA and PIB microdomains, with the N groups in the PMMA microphases. The phosphorescence intensity and decay times of the N groups were measured as a function of temperature over the range 77–295 K for dispersions in methylcyclohexane and for freeze-dried powder samples. An Arrhenius treatment of the radiationlcss decay rate showed a change in slope at −35 °C. The activation energy for the radiationless decay process is 3.8 kcal/mol in the −35 – +22 °C temperature region, identical to that found for pure PMMA by nmr for chain motion associated with the a-methyl relaxation process. We believe that the phosphorescence experiment is sensitive to the diffusion of oxygen and other impurities in the sample. These rates increase as the temperature is raised, enhancing the rate of phosphorescence quenching. These experiments indicate that phosphorescence measurements on labelled samples are suitable for studying relaxation processes within individual microphases of a polyphasic composite material.
