Abstract

Wood is widely used for various purposes with good performance. Wood works as the main material for furniture, monuments, decorations and constructions. which has the close relationship with human. Durability of wood is important in ensuring an appropriate life for the structure being designed. Wooden construction deteriorates easily due to UV radiation and weather conditions. Many of wood types need a preservative treatment. Several compounds are available for chemical protection, but not all are completely safe for human health. New technologies with low environmental impact and economically feasible are developed, which improves the life cycle of wood. Titanium dioxide is used widely in building materials and can help to make construction products and buildings more sustainable. It is used as a UV light absorber to protect wood matter from photodegradation. This review will focus on the use of titanium dioxide coating technology to protect wood from decay and the methods of applications in order to throw light on this field
