White pine wood was impregnated with styrene monomer and polymerised in situ using a gamma-irradiation technique. Factors affecting the polymerisation of styrene in pine wood samples have been studied, including the irradiation dose and the addition of CCl4. The produced wood polymer composites were tested against attack by wood borers in the Mediterranean Sea at Port Said and in the Suez region of the Red Sea. The duration of the exposure test was generally 17-18 months. The study presents a new system of treated wood which showed promising results in preventing attack by wood borers in marine regions that have a high population and intensity of such borers.
